The purpose of Foróige is to enable young people to involve themselves consciously and actively in their own development and in the development of society.

Foróige’s work is about development. We empower young people to develop their own abilities and attributes, to think for themselves, to make things happen and to contribute to their community and society. As a result, they develop increased self confidence, self-reliance, resilience and a greater capacity to take charge of their lives. All Foróige clubs, projects, services and programmes are designed to achieve these outcomes in a fun way.
