The youth work sector’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic: take part in the independent review now

We are calling on youth workers and youth organisations to take part in an independent review we have commissioned to capture the youth work sector’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic. We’d like you to take this short survey to help us demonstrate the social and economic value of your work.

Why is it important?

As you know, Covid-19 has had a profound impact on Irish society.

• It is important to capture how the youth work sector has responded to the challenges presented by the pandemic and we need your help to do this.
• This study aims to highlight the role and contribution of our sector in supporting young people and their families during this time.
• Your participation will help us to demonstrate the social and economic value of youth work.

How can you help?

This survey is the first phase of our research. If your organisation operates a number of projects with young people, we encourage you and your colleagues to complete the survey for each individual project/local unit. This will help us capture the different approaches and experiences.

The closing date for responding to the survey is July 10.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Marie-Claire McAleer, NYCI Head of Research and Policy at research@nyci.ie.

Please share this survey link with any colleagues across the youth sector that would like to participate.
