- Children in Poverty
- Social Education
Since 1994, the Irish Youth Foundation has been active partners of the International Youth Foundation, a global partnership of organizations committed to the growth and development of children and young people.
Our Philosophy and Values
We believe that every child and young person in Ireland is born with the right to opportunity. Due to a wide range of social factors, however, many are denied their most basic of rights - the right to a decent education, the right to be supported by caring adults, the right to a way of life that is free from fear and discrimination.
Essentially, we believe that achievement starts with opportunity. And in delivering every cent of your contribution to those in need, we are in a stronger position than other bodies to provide real opportunity to those we serve.
