Transition Year (TY) Students from St Louis and St Vincents Secondary Schools in Dundalk were honored at a recent Saint Vincent de Paul (SVP) North East and Midlands Youth Day.
They were awarded certificates for their participation in the Young SVP Programme 2022/2023
The Young SVP programme is a social justice programme designed for students at second and third level Institutions.
The programme encourages young people and young SVP groups to get involved in their local communities, improve the lives of others and gain a better understanding of SVP and social justice.
There are four types of project types in Young SVP:
Befriending Project
Befriending is one of the central works of SVP. At its heart is the person to person contact with people.
In befriending another person, you are giving of your time, your talents and yourself.
Work with elderly, young people, people with additional needs, fellow student support, local SVP, random acts of kindness, help a local community cause.
Education Project
SVP acknowledges the importance of education and the fact that it can be a way out of poverty for many people.
A little help at the right time can make all the difference.
Teach a skill to another person, peer learning, paired reading, homework club, tech classes, information booklets, music classes, language aid.
Awareness Project
Through this type of project, you will learn how to research and create awareness on a social justice issue you are interested in.
Research a topic of interest and create an awareness campaign in your school, local community, on social media
Direct Aid Project
SVP is funded almost entirely by donations by the public.
Direct Aid projects, where money or items are raised for a cause, should be done with a clear focus in mind and in conjunction with the charity or cause you are collecting for.
Fundraise, clothes drive, collections for homeless charities, annual appeal collection, help local SVP.
Well done to all involved!
