The Yard Crew is made up of young adults aged 16-24 who are not currently in employment, education or training. The aim of this programme is to equip young people with the practical skills and personal development needed to gain employment. The crew’s hard work has resulted in a collection of beautifully crafted wood products, which we are excited to offer to the public! All proceeds will go back into the programme, further enabling Solas Project to equip participants to embrace their futures with confidence.
Solas Project’s vision is to see an Ireland where all children and young people truly know their self-worth and can take full advantage of their potential. We recognise that, due to societal inequalities, all young people in Ireland do not have access to the same opportunities. As a result, many are prevented from reaching their full potential. We build longterm relationships with children and young people at risk of being marginalised by society, specifically through the education, employment and justice systems. We deliver a range of innovative and holistic interventions from childhood, through adolescence and into early adulthood. We seek to equip and empower young people to live life to the full and decide how they want to make a meaningful contribution to society. Alongside these supports, we advocate for societal change to tackle the inequalities that allow young people in Ireland to grow up at a disadvantage.
