The Education Authority can help you make a difference in your youth work by providing funding. We will fund youth organisations that;
- deliver Youth Work in accordance with Priorities for Youth – ‘Improving the lives of Young People through Youth Work’ (DE 2013)
- deliver the youth work curriculum, ‘Youth Work: A Model for Effective Practice’ (DE 2003)
- meet the needs of children and young people as outlined in the Regional Assessment of Need and in Regional & Local Youth Development Plans
- use a Strength Based Approach to the planning and delivery of programmes with young people
- are registered with EA
Based on the needs of the Youth Service, other organisations which provide specialist services may have the opportunity to apply for funding, namely Regional Project and/or Regional Development Funding
What Types of Funding are Available?
There are two types of funding available within the new scheme; Regional Funding and Local Funding. All funding opportunities will be publicly advertised.
