The National Youth Council of Ireland is the representative body for voluntary youth organisations in Ireland.

NYCI was established in 1967 through the coming together of the principal voluntary youth organisations. NYCI was set up to represent the interests of young people and youth organisations and continues to do this right up to the present day. NYCI's role is recognised in legislation (Youth Work Act) and as a Social Partner.



NYCI promotes the development of services for all young people and promotes and safeguards their interests and concerns.
