Youth Development
REACT has been working with young people since 1999 in the city and district of Armagh to make a significant difference to the lives of young people.
Much of our work is particularly aimed at disadvantaged and vulnerable young people aged 12-18 years old however, we work with a diverse range of children and young people throughout the community of Armagh. Children in Need currently core fund our youth development worker with additional funding support from Armagh Community Safety Partnership, which allows us to provide support and opportunities to children and young people in a range of programmes and training from personal development to understanding cultural diversity.
The youth project also offers a youth drop-in so as children and young people have a safe place to meet friends and also gain new experiences. REACT over the summer months provides Youth Invention Programmes. Young people also have an opportunity to engage in a range of personal and social development programmes, cross community/border projects and other activities.
We have strong working partnerships with many organisations throughout Armagh such as, Community Safety Partnership, SELB Youth Forum, Childrens services, the local PSNI Neighbourhood Team and many other community organisations. Without the support of these organisations much of the work REACT does would not be as successful.
For more information on our youth programmes and training please contact our Youth Development Worker - Donna McILroy.
