Finding Your Place Celebrates!

For the past 8 years, Finding your Place leadership programme has been run in the North-West by Donegal YMCA and in the past two years in partnership with L'derry YMCA. Over 300 young people have benefited from the course with over 100 participating in the past two years alone. A good crowd turned out to hear how the course has benefited participants including a representative from the funder IFI/RDC. Finding Your Place arose out of an action research project carried out in Bantry YMCA which while showing the under-representation of young people on the management boards of most community organisations also showed that young people wanted to learn leadership skills through practical action.
