JOB REFERENCE: FRGJOB_**APPLY ON THE WEBSITE**
For?ige is the National Youth Development Organisation, which
promotes and fosters youth development through the operation of
various youth services in urban and rural areas throughout the
country. For?ige is currently recruiting for the following position:
PROGRAMME OFFICER
PROJECT SUMMARY
This post is responsible for the provision of youth mentoring services
for young people involved in Youth Diversion Projects (YDPs) and JLO
Services in communities across the country. This post will be part of
For?ige?s BBBS Programme and will take referrals from the network
of For?ige managed YDPs or JLO services across the county. This post
is a funded post by the Department of Justice and Equality through the
Irish Youth Justice Service, in conjunction with An Garda S?och?na
and will be managed by For?ige. The Big Brother Big Sister programme
is a youth mentoring programme that connects a vulnerable young person
to an adult volunteer mentor to facilitate a positive transition from
adolescence into adulthood. BBBS is the first proven youth work
programme in Ireland. The programme matches an adult volunteer and a
young person. It?s core assumption is that a caring and supportive
friendship will develop and reinforce the positive development of the
young person. The underlying assumption is that the adult volunteer
will become a role model, a mentor, but perhaps most of all, a friend.
