WHAT IS YOUTHBANK?

YouthBank is a unique way of involving young people in grant-making within their local community.  It is an all-island of Ireland initiative of over 20 grant-making committees run by young people.  The funding distributed by these decision-making committees supports projects designed and run by young people that address issues and concerns relevant to them and their community.


YouthBank is not just about giving out grants, it is a personal development programme, which will build young people’s self-esteem and confidence and provide them with an opportunity to learn new skills in leadership, team-work, decision-making, problem-solving, communication, negotiation, report-writing, presentation skills, event management, interview skills and lots, lots more
