Rialto Youth Project
Working with over 400 young people aged 5 years and older, Rialto Youth Project engages in one-to-one individual support as well as group work based approaches. The youth work team address issues relevant to young people and also support those who have an interest in particular activities (e.g. drama, music, visual arts). The Rialto Youth Project hosts two separate Homework Clubs and is committed to building links between community and school and fostering an ethos of school attendance, attainment and removing the barriers to third level progression for young people from working class areas.
