The Tipperary ETB Youth Work Team supports the provision, coordination, administration and assessment of youth work in county Tipperary.
Working under the authority of the ETB Act, the Tipperary ETB Youth Work team partners with a range of youth work providers including Foróige, Youth Work Ireland Tipperary, Waterford and South Tipperary Community Youth Service, and North Tipperary Leader Partnership. The unit also works in cooperation with a range of other statutory and voluntary agencies.
Tipperary ETB Youth Work Team aims to encourage partnership in the youth work sector, and to promote the common goal and purpose of youth work for the benefit of all young people.
The Youth Work Act 2001 provides a legal framework for the provision of youth work programmes and services, and gives statutory responsibility at national level to the Minister for Education and Skills, and at local level to ETBs for the development of youth work and it’s co-ordination with other services for young people.
