South Dublin Foróige
Description
Foróige's South Dublin Page is the one stop place to be, to find out about Foróige volunteer led clubs for 10-18 yr olds! Foróige is a national youth organisation, in operation in Ireland since 1952. Foróige engages with over 50,000 young people per year. We are an organisation of 400 staff and over 5,000 volunteers, who help us engage and reach this figure of young people week by week.
Foróige have a range of programmes and services for young people including -Volunteer led Clubs / Cafés, Local Youth Services, Local Youth Development Projects, Diversion Programmes, Drugs Prevention Programmes, Neighbourhood Youth Projects, Big Brother Big Sister (BBBS) Mentorship Programme and Education Programmes for Young People –Leadership, Citizenship, Entrepreneurship, Be Happy Be Healthy, Real U (Relationships and Sexual Health Programme) and Drugs Awareness & Education Programmes
Foróige Clubs meet in community spaces, generally one evening a week, catering for a specific age bracket. Foróige engages with young people aged 10-18 yrs old. Our clubs are co-ordinated by extra-ordinary volunteers, AKA Foróige Club Leaders.
Foróige Club Leaders provide the skeletal framework for our Foróige Clubs. They are guardians of their own club, breathing character, identity and possibility into it's very being. Our Leaders arrange logistics week by week to ensure the club runs smoothly. Leaders are involved in developing good relations with the young people in the club and work with them and the other leaders in partnership to develop ideas and activities that become part of The Club!
The role of Leader means that you can be just that to young people. Leaders in Foróige clubs help young people in discovering about themselves, their own inner strengths and about the world around them. Foróige Leaders are there to guide them, motivate them, listen to them, inspire them!

Hi everyone. Great news! There is a brand new Foróige Club coming to Ballyowen Community Centre, in Lucan Co Dublin! The club will be aimed at 13-16 year olds and we are hosting a launch night on Tuesday August 22nd from 7.30pm – 9pm. You’re welcome to pop in and take a look at what it’s all about! Foróige Clubs offer young people a fun, safe, social outlet, where they can learn more about themselves, their own skills and attributes and about each other, under the guidance, care and mentorship of our Volunteer Leaders. Through their involvement in a Foróige club, we hope that young people can work on important life skills and participate in decisions affecting their own club and their own life. We work with 10-18 year olds through carefully selected age appropriate meaningful youth work activity. Ideas for club activities are driven by the young people themselves, with the help, guidance and inspiration of our volunteer leaders. From learning how to DJ, developing a Healthy Lifestyle project, organising a fundraising or community awareness project, to learning Circus Skills, maybe an International Theme Night or radio production, the possibilities of clubs are enormous! If you have any questions, you can contact Claire Hutchinson, (Regional Youth Officer , South Dublin with Foróige) on Claire.hutchinson@foroige.ie!
