Proudly supporting Young St Vincent de Paul National Youth Development programme since 2013

Development Programme

The development programme offers young people the opportunity to engage in social action and encourages personal and social development. The programme has been developed for use in schools or youth groups with nearly 20,000 secondary school students from 4th and 5th year taking part since our partnership began. When enrolling in the programme the students are given the opportunity to learn about social justice, why it is needed and provided with the opportunity to take part in social action projects in their communities.

Working to change negative perceptions

Through the Young SVP programme, Electric Ireland and our partners aim to change negative perceptions of young people and drive pride in the positive impact young people have on Irish society.
