The programme is not perfect but...

as I reflect on my last 7 years of Youth In Action I realise there is a great deal that could be improved. It is a difficult process accessing funds, good partners can be hard to find, you have great difficulties wading through the rules and filling in reports etc. etc. 

But having said all of this does Youth In Action make a difference  ??? Hell yes, it transforms lives and as a youth worker I have seen this happen countless times. So for me the positives far outweigh the negatives. 

This conference is about celebrating the positives this was an aim from the beginning and if people want to be negative feel free to do so but not at the expense of the next generation of young people who will transform 1000's of lives in the future. Chose a different arena to vent your anger

Thank you Youth in Action as my life was transformed by your programme. It has shaped me into a greater professional and someone who is more tolerant, caring and interested in the world around me. I owe you a big big thank you, so here it is

THANK YOU
