The YouthStart consortium consists of seven leading youth work charities; YouthAction Northern Ireland, Springboard Opportunities, The \u00a0Prince\u2019s Trust NI, Include Youth, Start360, NI Youth Forum and Bytes; all experienced in providing transformative intervention support that meets the needs of young people. Together, the consortium will support young people across all eleven council areas within Northern Ireland, responding to local needs and tackling the Government\u2019s asks of addressing the high levels of economic inactivity across Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cThe launch of YouthStart today is extremely significant; it will impact the lives of over 2000 young people throughout Northern Ireland. Being able to provide this level of extensive employability support to young people is crucial, as by investing in our young people now, will have a significant impact in the future. This programme will allow us to tackle the high levels of economic activity and provide opportunities for young people to live a fulfilling life. \u201d\u2014 Lead Partner YouthAction NI\u2019s CEO, Martin McMullan<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\u201cIt has made me more confident in my bility to do school work and it have given me more opportunities for my future.\u201d\u2014 YouthStart Young Person<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\u201cI love being on the YouthStart programme, it has opened up a lot of opportunities for me and helped me gain qualifications I wasn’t able to obtain when I left school.\u201d\u2014 YouthStart Young Person<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Exciting new programme launched to support young people into employment!","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":347,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,12],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nExciting New YouthStart Parternship Launch! - Include Youth<\/title>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\t \n\t \n\t \n \n \n \n \n \n\t \n\t \n\t \n
