Tell Your Story – Call for young people for interviews

Our sessions have reached capacity and we are no longer accepting applications. If you would still like to share your story with us, we are also accepting written submissions.

NYCI is running the Youth Work Changes Lives campaign in August and September on behalf of our members, to ensure that the Government is aware of the need to increase investment in youth work and young people ahead of Budget 2023. 

As part of that we are gathering stories from individual young people to highlight the life-changing impact of youth work. 

We will be taking a similar approach to the social media storytelling we used in the Budget22 campaign, and the storytelling Humans of Dublin has recently been doing for causes. 

We are looking for young people who would be interested in telling their stories in this campaign. 

We need young people who are: 

• Passionate about youth work and have experienced its power to change lives
• Good storytellers, who are confident and comfortable in talking about their experiences 

What we will be asking you to do: 

• Attend a storytelling session on Wednesday 3rd August at 18:00-19:30 where you will be interviewed about your experiences. These will be done remotely over Zoom. 
• Supply a photo of yourself for use in this campaign  
• Possibly speak to media about their experience – optional! 
• Young people can share stories even if they don’t want to use their photos or speak to media, and stories that contain sensitive details will be anonymised if necessary. 

If you have any questions about this campaign which we are very excited about, please get in touch with Daniel Meister, NYCI Communications Manager: danielm@nyci.ie
