The project aims to enhance the life chances of the young people and to assist them to fulfil their potential. The project is managed by Foróige in partnership with Tusla, Child & Family Agency and combines the expertise of both agencies to deliver a community-based resource.

The project provides a range of developmental educational programmes and activities for young people in particular targeting young people who are at risk of or currently experiencing personal, educational, family or social difficulties including young people from identified areas of disadvantage, minority groups and those referred to the project. Young people are referred from Tusla and/or other referral sources.

Programmes are organised to address specific areas of need or of concern.
