Programmes for Young People

 

We have created and enhanced 5 programmes targeted primarily at young people in the 11-16 and 17-25 age groups. The programmes are delivered by The Big Deal participation worker team in the Northern Ireland Youth Forum (NIYF) in partnership with the Education and Library Boards (ELBs).

 

The 5 programmes are:

 

Transitions

Making It Happen

Democracy Works

Making your Youth Council Work for You

Organisational Change

 

A Big Deal Participation Worker is located in each of the five ELB areas delivering work with:

ü       young people not currently making use of local youth and community services

ü       youth councils, forums and committees

ü       youth centres, youth projects and other organisations working with young people

 

The programmes are designed to achieve the greater participation of young people as decision-makers in their own lives and in the activities and services they take part in.

 

The programmes are flexible and free. To get involved complete and return the Expression of Interest form below
