About Belvedere Youth Club

BYC is a youth service based in the Northeast Inner City (NEIC) of Dublin which has been working with children and young people in this community since 1918. Staffed by a team of specialists and professional teams and grounded in Restorative Practice, BYC provides a range of services and supports to our children and young people, including an Afterschool's programme, Mainstream youth programme and an innovative Justice project.

Dublin’s Northeast Inner City has been one of the most disadvantaged and marginalised communities not just in Dublin, but nationally. Study after study has highlighted the impact of this social disadvantage. The community and the children and young people with whom BYC works are affected by high levels of unemployment, exposure to street level drug and alcohol misuse, poor health and associated health outcomes and a lack of access to structured social and leisure activities.

BYC’s aim is to provide a comprehensive service to young people in the NEIC.

In that context, BYC teams work together to implement an integrated model of service delivery that allows for universal programmes (after school and weekday evening programmes), complemented by more targeted youth work interventions. This delivery model has been developed with the aim of engaging our children and young people from the ages of 7-24 years. Through this contact time, children and young people are identified and supported to participate in more structured strands of youth work including in the following programme areas:

• Informal Educational Support
• Issued Based Programmes
• Sports Inclusion
• Arts & Crafts
• Erasmus Programmes
• Music, Drama and Youth Theatre

In addition to the above BYC also provides support to children, young people and their families within the criminal justice system through the delivery an innovative justice project.
