Who We Are  

Youth Work Ireland Galway is a voluntary youth work organisation governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. From our centres in Galway City, Tuam, Loughrea and Ballinasloe, we provide and coordinate community - based services and supports to young people in a safe environment. We are led by the principles and practice of community development. We recognise the right of all young people regardless of gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, ability, marital status, race, culture or ethnic origin to participate fully in their community.

Our Vision

The Vision of Youth Work Ireland Galway is a safe and secure society where young people can grow, develop and thrive. A society where young people have a voice and are respected. A society where equality and diversity are valued and inequality and discrimination are called out and challenged.

Our Mission

The Mission of Youth Work Ireland Galway is to support, empower and inspire young people to reach their full potential in a manner that is inclusive and supports voluntary participation, is non-judgmental, welcoming and open. We will do this by working in partnership with young people and other relevant stakeholders to provide a safe and supportive environment and range of services to all.
