RETURN OF THE YARD CREW

It has been an exciting week here at Solas Project with a new group of lads joining us in The Yard Crew last Wednesday!

Over the next 16 weeks, these young men will focus on developing personal, practical and business skills in order to increase their opportunity for employment. Through various activities such as woodwork, bike repairs and IT training, each participant will get an insight in to what it takes to run a business and the importance of teamwork and working towards a common shared goal. 

As part of this Social Enterprise, The Yard Crew will be crafting handmade wooden pieces which will soon be available to buy from our website in the coming months. The Yard Shop will include things like bowls, bottle openers and pens, as well as some made-to-order items such as rocking horses and candle holders.

We're looking forward to seeing what The Yard Crew get up to over the next 16 weeks and we'll be sure to keep you updated!

WE NEED YOU!

We are looking for volunteers to join our team in both The Club and The Yard. Slightly different skill-sets are needed for each volunteering opportunity but they both work towards the same vision - to unlock the youth's potential and to help them truly know their self-worth. 

Volunteers are the heart and soul of Solas Project, and without their generosity and skills it would be impossible for us to achieve our vision.

THE YARD

The Yard supports young people by equipping them with the necessary skills required to get and hold down a job. These skills range from woodwork and bike repairs to punctuality and teamwork. Working with young people from the ages of 6-23, each day in The Yard is guaranteed to be different!

THE CLUB

The Club provides a safe home-like environment after school each day for children living in challenging circumstances. Catering for over 40 children between our three locations in Dublin 8, The Club is always a hive of activity and lots of fun to be a part of!
