Garda Youth Diversion Projects are community based and supported youth development projects which seek to divert young people from becoming involved (or further involved) in anti-social or criminal behaviour. These projects facilitate personal development and promote civic responsibility.
Aims:
1. Involve young people in suitable activities to facilitate personal development and encourage civic responsibility and improve their long-term employability prospects
2. Divert young people from becoming involved in criminal or anti-social behaviour
3. In achieving the above, projects will seek to support and improve local Garda community relations and enhance the quality of life in the area.
