East Galway Youth Project is a community based youth project supporting young people 10-24 from Ballinasloe town and the surrounding areas. The project supports young people in their social, personal and educational development through a variety of activities and programmes including educational supports, creative activities, international youth exchanges and a range of issue/ topic-based projects. The project works closely with young people, parents, agencies and organisation to provide a youth space that meets the needs of the young people in the East Galway area of County Galway.

The services we provide young people are

  • Small & Large Group Activities: Chill sessions, creative workshops, and focused discussions, events, games, and community projects.
  • One-to-One Support: Talk privately with a youth worker about anything that’s on your mind.
  • Outreach: We come to you—connecting with young people in schools, communities, and local spaces.
  • Trips Away: Fun and educational outings to explore new places and build friendships. We also take part in European youth exchanges.  
  • Youth-Led Events: Help plan and take part in large group events and campaigns.
  • Advocacy: We’ll help you speak up about issues that affect young people with our youth council. We will help you get supports you need.  
  • Volunteer Support: If you’re a young volunteer, we’ll support your journey and help you grow.
