“Youthreach Testimony My experience of Youthreach was the best educational experience I will ever have. I learned how to cook, how to communicate effectively, how to write emails, memos and many other valuable life skills. I also got the opportunity to learn how to rock climb, kayak and work well as a team. The staff at west Wicklow Youthreach were endlessly supportive and encouraging.

Thanks to the head start Youthreach gave me in my educational career, I am now in a position where I am predicted to get an overall distinction in QQI Level 5 Animal Care and intend to open my own dog grooming/training business by the end of 2021. “

“My time at Youthreach was great. From the first day I was instantly welcomed by everyone, both staff and students and also those from the adult courses. I learned so many valuable skills that I couldn’t have learned in school which I not only carried into my QQI level 5 Forensics course last year, but also into my new university. I made great friends and had amazing support my entire time on the programme. Being autistic, I learned how to communicate effectively with others and it also prepared me for college where I would be around bigger groups of people, both of which have allowed me to sit on and even briefly chair multiple societies within my university. 

I learned to enjoy subjects like maths and had the best time there. I loved it so much and cannot recommend it enough to those who are considering going.”
