Hi John,

I want to ask for your help with an important campaign NYCI is running in August and September, to ensure Government is aware of the need to increase investment in young people and youth work ahead of Budget 2025. 

We’re currently developing the campaign, and are gathering stories from individual young people and youth workers to highlight the life-changing impact of youth work. 

We will be taking a similar approach to the social media storytelling we used successfully in our recent budget campaigns and Humans of Dublin has been doing for causes. 

We are looking for young people and youth workers who would be interested in telling their stories in this campaign. 

We need people who are: 

• Passionate about youth work and its power to change lives 
• Good storytellers, who are confident and comfortable in talking about their experiences 

What we will be asking you to do: 

• Attend a storytelling session and be interviewed about your experiences on:

• Supply a photo for use in this campaign

How you can help, John:
