    Volunteering Opportunities

    KDYS need volunteers to help run Youth Clubs and Youth cafes, assist at Youth Events and to get involved in fundraising activities. We are currently recruiting volunteer for our mentor project.

    Youth clubs are key to ensuring that the young people of Kerry grow up supported, healthy, happy, safe, connected and respected in their own communities. If you would like to start a youth club within KDYS, click the Start a Youth Club page.
