CDYS

Background:

CDYS came into being following a loose affiliation of youth clubs in the dioceses of Cloyne from 1962. 

When the National Federation of Youth Clubs (now known as Youth Work Ireland) was established in 1973 with a new constitution, CDYS was firmly on the map and active at a national level. 

February 1988, saw yet another change as the National Federation of Youth Clubs ceased to exist and was replaced by Youth Work Ireland. 

Since our establishment as a limited company in 2005, CDYS Youth Work Ireland has continued to grow and develop significantly in the provision of youth and community services in county Cork.

Current Projects:

Cloyne Diocesan Youth Services works to empower young people, Families and Communities through quality Youth services in a safe and supporting community.  CDYS offer these services regardless of social, economic or religious background. We respects the ambition of youth and encourage and nurture them to help reach their full potential. We provide a forum for them to express themselves and to be heard. 

We have a voluntary led Board of Directors and our professionally qualified staff are committed to offering quality Support & Services to all.  We work in partnership with outside agencies such as Tusla.
