🎉 **Official Launch of YouthMap Ireland / Mapa Óige na hÉireann** 🇮🇪
Tuam Youth Work Ireland Galway, in conjunction with **GRETB Youth Service**, was delighted to welcome **Minister for Education and Youth Hildegarde Naughton T.D.** to the launch of the **Department of Education and Youth’s YouthMap Ireland / Mapa Óige na hÉireann**.
🗺️ **YouthMap Ireland** is a publicly accessible online map of youth clubs, youth services and support programmes across Ireland. It has been designed to make it easier for young people and their parents to find information about the supports and services available within their local communities.
📍 The launch took place at **Youth Work Ireland Galway – Tuam’s UBU Your Place Your Space Youth Service**, a safe, supportive and inclusive space where young people can connect, develop, have their voices heard and access a range of supports and opportunities.
We were delighted to showcase the important work taking place in Tuam and to highlight the positive impact that youth work and community partnerships have on young people.
A huge thank you to **Minister Hildegarde Naughton**, GRETB, the Department of Education and Youth, our partner agencies, community organisations, youth workers and, most importantly, the young people who make our youth service what it is. 💜
**Connecting young people with the services, supports and opportunities they need — wherever they are in Ireland.** 🌟
