Why investing in young people will be so important in the Budget ahead

Hi John, some people were having trouble with one of the signup links, so just a quick note to let you know they're now working if you want to sign up for next weeks sessions and share a story.

Cheers and have a great bank holiday in the meantime!

Hi John,

I hope you’re keeping well?


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 2023.

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 the Budget22 campaign ([link removed]) , and the storytelling Humans of Dublin ([link removed])  has recently 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:
Wednesday 3rd August at 18:00-19:30 ([link removed]) (young people) or
Thursday 4th August at 18:00-19:30 ([link removed]) (youth workers).
These will be done remotely over Zoom.

* Supply a photo for use in this campaign




** How you can help, John:
------------------------------------------------------------
If you have a story to share, please do register for one of the sessions above. If not, please contact any young people or youth workers you think might be suitable and share this opportunity with them.

Thanks so much as always for standing with us. You're part of an incredible community supporting young people across Ireland. Together, we’re changing lives.

With thanks,

Mary
