City of Dublin ETB is seeking submissions from eligible organisations with experience of delivering high-quality, community-based youth work services to young people to establish a new UBU Your Place Your Space funded service in Finglas South with a budget of up to €228,000.
City of Dublin ETB is seeking a provider that is ambitious for young people, committed to partnership, willing to innovate, and capable of delivering high-quality, evidence-informed youth work that responds to both the immediate needs of young people and the longer-term aspirations of the Finglas South community.

ü Have experience of delivering community-based youth work with disadvantaged, marginalised and vulnerable young people aged 10–24 using youth work and non-formal educational methodologies.

ü Work collaboratively with City of Dublin ETB, schools, community organisations and statutory partners to complement existing provision and strengthen outcomes for young people.
ü Operate a young person-centred approach, ensuring services are accessible outside school hours, including evenings, weekends and school holiday periods.
