Catholic Youth Care (CYC) is a leading provider of youth services in the Archdiocese of Dublin. CYC was established in 1944 and set up in its present form in 1977.

Our  mission is to promote a youth work response
that is caring, compassionate and Christian
and enables young people to participate more fully in the life of society and church.

We do this through a wide variety of initiatives and programmes:

CYC  safeguards the welfare of children in our care.  We  undertake to ensure a best practice response to  child protection by having a clear child protection policy and procedures which are designed to underpin and demonstrate our committment  to our duty of care.

Co-ordination and support for summer programmes, which provide educational and recreational programmes for children and young people during the summer months.

Programmes which promote social inclusion amongst young people. Provision and encouragement of youth arts activities.
