We were delighted recently as Cork College of FET Ballincollig Youthreach marked three decades of supporting young people through practical learning, personal development and new opportunities. Guests were privileged to hear directly from past and present students, who shared their stories and the different pathways they have taken through further education, training and employment.

Since opening in 1995, the centre has provided an inclusive alternative learning environment where young people can build confidence, discover their talents, gain qualifications and progress to further education, training or employment.

The anniversary celebration brought together current and former learners, staff, families, Board of Management members and supporters of the centre. Lord Mayor of Cork, Cllr Damian Boylan unveiled a commemorative plaque recognising this important milestone. He stated: “What I can say, looking in from the outside, is that places like this matter enormously. Because education is not one-size-fits-all. People learn differently. People develop at different times. And sometimes a young person simply needs a different environment, another opportunity, and somebody who is prepared to see the potential in them. For thirty years, that is what people in this centre have provided.”

Denis Leamy, Chief Executive, praised the centre as an example of what can be achieved when talented educators, supportive communities and determined learners come together with a shared purpose.

We congratulate Coordinator Karen Hogan and everyone—past and present—who has contributed to the Ballincollig Youthreach story. Here’s to the next chapter of helping young people recognise their abilities, reach their potential and take their next step.
