What is Journeys?

Journeys is a targeted capacity-building programme for young people aged 14 to 24 who face significant disadvantage, exclusion or marginalisation. Many have complex social and emotional needs and are at risk of becoming involved in anti-social behaviour, violence or paramilitary activity.

The programme supports young people from Belfast and Derry, especially those living in areas with high levels of social and economic deprivation and communities still affected by the legacy of conflict. It also works with young people from disadvantaged wards in Greater Limavady and the border regions of Cavan and Monaghan.

Through a focus on good relations, personal development, citizenship and employability, Journeys helps participants build confidence, strengthen their sense of identity and community, and take positive steps towards a more hopeful and sustainable future.
