The Youth Centre, Carmody St, Ennis
In the evenings and weekends the Community Training Centre gives way to the Youth Project which operates every weekend and on several evenings. The project aims to provide a safe space, free from judgement, where young people can socialise, develop and learn with the support of trained Youth Workers. Young people, Youth Workers and volunteers work in partnership to create a space where all young people have the opportunity for creative expression, real responsibility, voice, and the chance to be themselves, relax or learn new skills. The following programmes and events form part of what is created here.
