I love it. The kids are fantastic. One girl whispers ‘Thanks, Margaret’ every week.

Paul, Co. Cork
Foróige is about sharing, learning, helping others and making good friends.

John, Co. Kilkenny
Somewhere in Ireland is a future President or Taoiseach. We challenge them to rise to the occasion.

Foróige gave me the confidence to get involved in my community instead of waiting for someone else.

Dave, Dublin 24
Young people need a safe space to be themselves and have their voices heard.

Mentoring gives young people an alternative. It’s a simple way to make a difference.
