Advocacy
We have two inter-related strands to our work on advocacy. The first addresses issues affecting young people and the second relates to the development of the youth work sector.
In 2010 we are focusing on 10 key issues of concern to young people which include:
1. Youth Work
2. Education
2.1 – Early School Leaving & Educational Disadvantage
2.2 – Part Time Fees
3. Health
3.1 – Medical Cards
3.2 – Mental Health Needs of Young People
4. Equality
5. Active Citizenship & Participation
10. Interculturalism
For further information on any of these issues please contact Clodagh O'Brien, Communications Officer at NYCI on 01-478 4122 or e-mail communications@nyci.ie.
