CDYS have 6 affiliated Youth clubs and groups located across the Diocese of Cloyne, serving their local Communities.  Youth Clubs provide a vital space for young people in their local communities that is a safe & accessible place to socialise with their friends in their own time.  Youth Clubs are a great way to encourage young people to become part of the community in which they live, enabling young people to move from adolescence to adulthood by nurturing personal growth and offering activities that challenge and stimulate.

Thinking about setting up a Youth Club in your Community?

CDYS club support includes information, training, insurance, support and invitations to events.  Clubs generally meet one night per week and they are established by volunteers within the community.  

We understand that it may be a little daunting to think about setting up a youth club in your community but CDYS understand the process and are here to offer you help and support in the set up of your group.  It is a rewarding project to get involved in for both Volunteers and Young people and can have a positive impact within your Community.
