Our youth programmes run Monday to Friday in the afternoons and evenings, offering various activities and support that empower young people to reach their full potential. 

Volunteers play an essential role in this mission by assisting with:

• Homework Clubs: Help students tackle their schoolwork, build study habits, and achieve academic success
• Drop-in Clubs: Engage with young people in activities such as sports, arts, and discussion groups, fostering creativity, teamwork, and self-expression
• Junior Leadership Programme: Mentor and guide young people as they develop leadership skills, build confidence, and prepare for future challenges

Your involvement will directly support the personal growth of our youth, helping them develop essential life skills, build meaningful relationships, and create lasting memories.

By volunteering with YMCA Dublin, you’ll not only be making a positive impact on the lives of young people but also becoming part of a community dedicated to fostering healthy, confident, and connected individuals. Whether you can commit to a few hours per week or more, your contribution will be invaluable in helping us create a brighter future for our youth.
