Opportunities for Youth: National Strategy for Youth Work and Related Services sets out Ireland’s key policy ambitions for youth work and related services. It describes the measures we will take in the period 2024 – 2028 to move us closer to an Ireland where all young people who wish to are able to participate in enriching and developmental out-of-school opportunities that enable them to reach their full potential.

This publication delivers on a commitment in Young Ireland: National Policy Framework for Children and Young People 2023-2028, which recognises the important role of youth work services in improving outcomes for young people and includes an agreed action to develop and implement a document setting out a strategic direction for the delivery of such services.
