The Huntstown Community Youth Project (HCYP) was established in 2004 as an initiative of the HFRC CLG. The project employs a youth officer and is funded by UBU – Your Place, Your Space Funding Scheme through the Dept of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth in partnership with Dublin Dun Laoghaire ETB.
It is managed by Foróige in collaboration with a local Management Advisory Committee that consists of local volunteers, community Gardai, and other community agencies.
The youth project offers educational and recreational after-schools programmes for local young people aged between 10 and 18 years. It’s key focus is on providing intervention for young people considered to be at risk. The purpose of the project is to enable young people to involve themselves consciously and actively in their own development and in the development of their community.
