Kathryn Clancy, manager of the LYS Community Training Centre echoed John’s sentiments and thanked the learners, especially those with the restaurant project of the Catering Skills Course for leading by example.
“You took the initiative by collecting the bottles, creating collection points across the two LYS city spaces and reminded us daily to drop off our bottles,” Kathryn said with a smile.
“For what you have achieved you should be extremely proud of yourselves as we are of you,” she added, before thanking instructor Shelia Walsh for supporting the learners with their recycling project.
The young people are learners with the restaurant project of the Catering Skills Course that is located at the LYS Community Training Centre, Lr Glentworth St, Limerick.
The Catering Skills Course is one of many further education and training opportunities for young people with LYS.
The LYS Community Training Centre is supported by the Limerick & Clare Education & Training Board and co-funded by the Government of Ireland.
A member of Youth Work Ireland and the Irish Association of Community Training Centres, LYS remains committed to connecting with young people and supporting them to reach their full potential.
