Local Youth Club Grant Scheme 2021

/in , /by

Introduction to the Local Youth Club Grant Scheme incorporating the National Quality Standards for Volunteer-led Youth Groups:

Local Youth Club Group SchemeThe Local Youth Club Grant Scheme (LYCGS or ‘the Scheme’) supports volunteer-led youth club/group activities at a local level. The Scheme, which provides grant aid towards the costs of running clubs/groups, is part-funded by the proceeds of the National Lottery. Funding for the Scheme is provided by the Department of Children, Equality, Integration, Disability and Youth (DCEDIY) and is administered locally by Education and Training Boards (ETBs) as co-grantor and on behalf of DCEDIY. ETBs advertise the Scheme locally on an annual basis, outlining the purpose of the grant and the eligibility criteria.

The Scheme supports voluntary youth club/group activities for young people; with priority given to clubs/groups catering for young people aged 10–21. The primary focus of the Scheme is to assist local volunteer-led youth clubs/groups that provide a programme of youth work activities for young people. In addition, other clubs/groups that work with young people, but are not specifically providing youth work, are also entitled to apply for funding under the Scheme.

In 2017, DCEDIY incorporated the National Quality Standards for Volunteer-led Youth Groups (NQSVLYG) into the Local Youth Club Grant Scheme (LYCGS). These national quality standards were developed to support and enhance voluntary work with young people. The three National Quality Standards for Volunteer-led Youth Groups are:
1. Standard 1: Safety and well-being – Programmes, practices, and people ensure and promote the safety, support and well-being of young people.
2. Standard 2: Young person-centred – Programmes, practices, and people ensure and promote the voluntary participation, inclusion and voice of young people.
3. Standard 3: Developmental and educational – Programmes, practices, and people ensure and promote the development, achievement and progression of young people.

Throughout the club/group year, volunteers progress actions relating to the Standards that will improve the running of the club/group and the experience of the young people attending the club/group. Where a club/group requires support with progressing the Standards, it can request this from the National Youth Organisation to which it is affiliated. A youth club/group that is not affiliated to a National Youth Organisation can request support from its local ETB (see contact details in Appendix 1 of the Local Youth Club Grant Scheme Application Form).

The LYCGS Application Form is also the reporting template for the National Quality Standards for Volunteer-led Youth Groups. If you do not wish to apply for the grant, you need only complete Sections 1, 2 and 5 of the form. If you need any help in completing these sections of the form, please contact your National Youth Organisation (see details listed in Appendix 2 of the Form).

Tá pátrún gach scoile fós le socrú. Déanfar na cinntí maidir le pátrúnacht na scoileanna ar bhonn rogha na dtuismitheoirí/na gcaomhnóirí a bhfuil cónaí orthu sna ceantair pleanála scoile a mbeidh na scoileanna nua ag freastal orthu agus ar bhonn an leibhéil éagsúlachta atá ar fáil sna ceantair sin faoi láthair.

Baileofar na roghanna i suirbhé a dtugtar an Córas Próiseála Pátrúnachta ar Líne (CPPAL) air.   Le rochtain a fháil ar an gcóras le vótáil / do rogha a chur in iúl, beidh d’éirchód agus uimhir PSP do linbh de dhíth ort.  Ní mór do d’éirchód a bheith sa cheantar déimeagrafach atá i gceist le vótáil.  Má bhíonn aon deacrachtaí agat nó má bhíonn ceist agat faoi d’éirchód nó rochtain ar an CPPAL, déan teagmháil le opps@education.gov.ie

*Tabhair faoi deara nach ionann rogha tuismitheora a chur in iúl maidir le pátrúnacht scoile agus iarratas a dhéanamh ar ligean isteach. Tar éis bhunú na scoile, beidh ort iarratas a chur go díreach faoi bhráid na scoile más mian leat do leanbh a chlárú.  Chomh maith leis sin, fiú mura bhfuil tú incháilithe vótáil de bharr nach bhfuil d’éirchód sa cheantar, ní gá go gciallódh sé sin nach mbeifeá in ann do leanbh a chlárú sa scoil tar éis a bunaithe.  Ní úsáidtear córas na n-éirchód ach chun críche na vótála.
