Rosario Youth Centre

Rosario youth centre has been in operation since 1978. The centre is overseen by a voluntary management committee made up of local people who have a vested interest in the social and personal development of young people and the necessary skills to undertake such roles.

Rosario Youth Centre is a full time voluntary youth centre which provides a wide and varied range of social and educational activities and programmes for those aged 6-20, that reflects the curriculum as set down by the Department of Education for youth work practise.

Rosario Youth Centre aims to foster and harness the personal, social, emotional, spiritual, physical, cultural and political development of its members through engagement in a range of activities, events, programmes and projects which endeavour to be both stimulating and challenging.

The Youth Centre aims to broaden the horizons and life expectations of our children and young people and assist them in reaching their full potential as active citizens in their community.

The staff team, with the support and encouragement of the management committee, work tirelessly to meet the ever-changing needs of the children and young people and to be responsive and pro-active to the changing dynamics within the wider community; working to challenge and redress inadequacies, vulnerability, tensions and ensure that our children and young people are prepared and are an intrinsic part of a changing and developing community and society in which they live.

The youth centres activities reflect the core principals of acceptance and understanding of others, testing values and beliefs and participation.
