Foróige Clubs are where the magic starts.
Every week, all across Ireland, young people come together in their local communities to do something simple, but powerful; connect with one another. They run their own club nights with the support of adult volunteers. There might be games, chats, laughter, tea, music – you name it. It’s always different, because no two Foróige Clubs are the same. And that’s the point.
There are four kinds of Foróige Club:
- Clubs for 12–17 year olds
- Juniors Clubs for 10–12 year olds
- Specialist Clubs
- Youth Cafés
Across all of them, the focus is the same: building confidence; learning to work as a team; and discovering just how much you’re capable of.
These Clubs are led by young people, for young people. You decide what happens. Want to organise a fundraiser? Go for it. Plan a trip? Make it happen. Try something new? Bring it to the group. Your voice matters here – and you’ll be heard.
What makes a Foróige Club special?
- It’s run by young people: You get to lead, create, and make decisions together.
- It’s supported by volunteers: Adults are there to help, not to take over.
- It’s rooted in the community: Your Club is shaped by where you live and who you are.
- It’s seriously good fun: From games to deep conversations, every Club night brings something new.
Foróige Clubs are where confidence grows, friendships form, and big ideas take shape – and take off. They’re a space where you don’t have to perform or pretend, you just show up as you are, and that’s more than enough.

I believe in young people. With the right support, they can become anyone and achieve anything.
