Former Irish Prison Governor John Lonergan will attend the event
Youth Work Ireland Laois (YWIL) will celebrate their 21st Birthday and launch their strategic plan in Dunamaise Theatre, Portlaoise on Saturday, April 6.
YWI Laois provides a comprehensive range of services and development opportunities for Young People between the ages of 10 and 25 years old in Laois.
It is committed to a planned programme of education designed for aiding and enhancing the personal and social development of young people.
They have enlisted a special guest for the 21st celebrations, former Irish Prison Governor, John Lonergan, who will speak at the event.
However, the real stars will be the youth groups such as Young Men’s Sheds, Comhairle na nÓg, Ukraine Youth and Positive Laois who will have stands in the main hall of the Dunamaise, relaying what youth work they do in the Laois community. Youth Clubs will also have a stand at the event highlighting the work that they do.
The event will take place between 12 noon and 4pm with light refreshment will be served as people circulate and enjoy the stands. The celebrations will be filmed and will conclude at 3.30pm with the cutting of a celebratory cake. Everyone is welcome to attend.
