KCETB’s Youth Office is responsible for the administration, governance and oversight of over \u20ac1.1 million in funding from the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY)\u00a0to local youth services and local voluntary youth clubs through a variety of grants and support initiatives each year.<\/p>

The DCEDIY grants directly benefit young people in Kilkenny and Carlow through their participation and engagement in a variety of youth work supports, programmes and initiatives. These are run by Carlow Regional Youth Service, Ossory Youth Services, For\u00f3ige DRUM Youth Project and Health Caf\u00e9, Kilkenny as well as a host of voluntary youth work clubs and groups.<\/p>

KCETB also works with the DCEDIY, as a strategic partner, to support the delivery of the Youth Information Centre in Kilkenny and the UBU Your Place Your Space youth funding scheme in Kilkenny and Carlow which provides almost \u20ac1 million for local youth services.<\/p>
