Your guide to training, events, vacancies, and opportunities across the youth sector.
** September 2023
------------------------------------------------------------
Hello John,
I hope you've been keeping well.
Last week, we launched our
call on Government to fund young people and youth work in the Budget 2024 ([link removed]) . This year we are sending an open letter to TDs, to be published in local newspapers, asking them to invest €9.4 million in the youth sector. We've already reached 3,000 signatures, and it's growing all the time.
Read the full text of the open letter and add your signature ([link removed]) to support young people.
And as always, below you'll find your usual round-up of opportunities, updates, and events from across the youth sector.
All the best,
Sarah
