Solas Project's vision is to see an Ireland where all children and young people truly know their self-worth and can take full advantage of their potential.
We recognise that, due to societal inequalities, all young people in Ireland do not have access to the same opportunities. As a result, many are prevented from reaching their full potential. We build long term relationships with children and young people at risk of being marginalised by society, specifically through the education, employment and justice systems. We deliver a range of innovative and holistic interventions from childhood, through adolescence and into early adulthood. We seek to equip and empower young people to live life to the full and decide how they want to make a meaningful contribution to society. Alongside these supports, we advocate for societal change to tackle the inequalities that allow young people in Ireland to grow up at a disadvantage.
The Club is designed to support children to grow up to be healthy, confident and caring members of their community—and to thrive, despite challenging circumstances.
During July and August we take the children who attend the Club during the year on daily adventures as part of our Summer Project.
Volunteer with us for 6 days over a 6-week summer programme of fun and adventure for children aged 5 – 10 who live in inner city Dublin. Enable these children make the most out of their long summer holidays.
We’re running Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 12th July until 18th August.
