Project Description
Garda Youth Diversion Projects (GYDPs) are community based, multi-agency, youth crime prevention initiatives which primarily seek to divert young people who have been involved in anti-social and/or criminal behaviour. They provide suitable activities to facilitate personal development, promote civic responsibility, and improve long-term employability prospects. The projects may also work with young people who are significantly at risk of becoming involved in anti-social and/or criminal behaviour. Each GYDP has a Project Committee which is responsible for advising on and approving project planning and strategy, and monitoring and evaluating project performance. Each Project also has a Referral Committee which decides on participants for inclusion in the project.

Programmes and Services can include
Cross Border Conflict Resolution / Reconciliation Programme "Putting the Pieces Together" Programme
Crime Awareness Cross Community Interaction
