Special Projects for Youth (SPY)
These grant-aided youth work initiatives, funded by the Department of Children and Youth Affairs aim to facilitate the personal and social development of participants to realise their potential. In addition, they present opportunities for young people to undertake actions corresponding to their own aspirations and to assume responsibilities within their local communities.
The SPY project also engages and works with parents, schools, and other local agencies and volunteers to enhance the quality of the youth service. The overall aims are to support young people to reach their full potential through personal development and raising awareness on issues that affect young people’s lives. SPY also provides support & information and a safe space for young people to meet and be themselves.
