Vision

Sphere 17 believes all young people have the ability to achieve great things; some just need a little support. We believe we can be that support in different ways, for different young people.

Sphere 17 is your youth service so it can be whatever you make it …what we want it to be for you is … a place to be safe, welcome and heard … be respected not judged … have fun and enjoy learning more about yourself and the world around you … a place to be proud to be part of … a place to be you!

Core Values:

Young Person Centred

We are committed to being Young Person Centred, where young people are the focus of the service.

Voluntary Participation

We believe in Voluntary Participation as a core to our Youth Service Provision.

Equity and Respect

We promote the acceptance and understanding of others through all service activity and we hold that all people have unique value, rights, needs, beliefs and potential.

Development and Growth

We believe that Sphere 17 is a place of on-going learning and opportunity for growth.

Support

We promote a supportive environment in all our service provision.

Sphere 17 RYS aims to provide an integrated, high quality youth service to young people 10 -21 years in the Dublin 17 area reflecting their different interests, needs and age profile. The service places young people at the centre of all we do, recognising their value and potential as well as the challenges they face, and acts as a resource to other community initiatives that target young people and support these developments.
