Youthreach is part of a national programme that offers second chance education and training to 16 - 20 year olds. It is aimed at early school leavers and is designed to give young people the opportunity to gain confidence and engage in the formal certification process in an 'out-of-school' setting. It is a full-time year round course where learners receive a weekly training and travel allowance.

Youthreach operates five days a week 9am - 4pm. The centre closes in August for the summer holiday period.

In addition to formal learning, the following services are provided:

  • Work experience
  • Sports & Recreation
  • Mentoring and support
  • Careers Information

The programme operates from a new purpose built facility at Rinnasillogue since September 2008. (near Youth Centre)
