Hello John,
I hope you're keeping well.
Below you'll find your usual round-up of opportunities, updates, and events from across the youth sector.
Also, yesterday we launched our call ([link removed]) on Government to fund youth work in Budget 23. Our petition will go to the Government and ask them to invest €12 million to provide more supports and activities for young people and meet the needs of a growing youth population hit hard by the pandemic.
