Garda Youth Diversion Projects
Garda Youth Diversion Projects are local community based activities which work with children. These projects aim to help children move away from behaving in a way that might get them or their friends into trouble with the law. They can help children develop their sense of community and their social skills through different activities.
The projects offer opportunities for education, employment training, sport, art, music and other activities. Most projects operate outside of school hours. However, in areas with a high proportion of early school-leavers, activities may also be planned during the daytime.
The projects seek to encourage a better quality of life for everyone in the community and to support good relations between the Gardaí and the community.
There are currently 100 projects in operation. To see a list of these projects, please click here.
