THANK YOU! ⭐️

Thanks to you, we have almost 500 responses from across the statutory, community and voluntary, uniformed, Irish medium and faith-based youth sectors to our Workforce & Practice Development Survey!

Your contributions will help shape a new Workforce Development Strategy, due to be developed in the new year.

With this data, we can:
- Identify the key challenges facing the youth work workforce
- Highlight gaps in training, support and professional development
- Understand what youth workers and organisations need
- Shape future priorities and opportunities for the sector

Every response helps build a clearer picture of what’s needed to support the people who work with young people across Northern Ireland.

Thank you for helping shape the future of youth work!

What a busy few weeks it’s been for Our Generation!

We’re nearly halfway through delivering our first term of Our Generation: Stronger Together and it’s been nothing short of fantastic⭐️

From schools to youth groups we’ve been working with so many brilliant young people across our communities, exploring wellbeing, resilience, identity, friendships and more. It’s been fantastic to see so many young people getting involved.

A huge thank you to all the young people, schools, youth workers and staff who have made the first few weeks so successful !!
