Réidh
Réidh is a skills-acquisition and employment programme, developed by YMCA Dublin in response to the needs evident in the communities we serve. It is for young people aged 18-30 who are unemployed, underemployed, have left school early, or seek guidance and skills growth for their career path.
Participants will join the programme and gain access to training, supports and guidance to help them on to successful career goals and full employment as appropriate. Services are offered in-house by our staff or volunteers, or through referral across our network.
One of Réidh’s strengths is a network of partner organisations, schools, ETBs / training providers, corporates, and support services connected who can offer help, time, skills, and pathways to participants.


Participants can join at any of the three stages based on their individual needs. This allows us to serve a wide variety of needs, as each participant’s journey will be different.

Réidh currently offers services in the areas marked in green.
Réidh has partnered with organisations and training providers in Dublin 1, 2, 4, 6W, 8, 9, and 12, ensuring that young people from across Dublin are able to access relevant services for them, in their own local spaces.
As we grow in line with our strategic plan, we will expand and reach more areas.
