Youth Worker Cork YMCA
Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

- The project based in the Youth Information Service of Cork YMCA. The YIS aims to actively promote young people's development through the provision of a comprehensive user friendly information and advisory service responsive to their needs providing them with the information and skills necessary to make informed life choices. - The aim of this project is to develop and enhance the work and life skills of the individual and to add value to some of the youth work carried out in the YMCA by offering a European dimension through informal contact and structured sessions. - We will agree with the volunteer on a mutually beneficially project which they can pursue during their time which would relate back to their home country. - The volunteer will be part of the Health team delivering Heart n Soul and Signposts programme to in-house and groups externally. - The volunteer will be involved in formal group work sessions, non formal youth cafe settings and in formal information giving presentations. - The impact on the individual is cultural awareness, teamwork experience, skills enhancement and language improvement. - The impact on the orgaisation will be huge benefit where participants in our programmes here can benefit from insights and opinions from a volunteer from another European country. Attitudes , cognitive functioning and beliefs tend to vary with demographic variables. Therefore this type of diversity can lead to the presence of different perspectives or views on the performance of tasks/youth work activities.
