Through social and personal education the Youth Service aims to ensure that as many young Travellers are able to reach their full potential through participation in youth activities.
Drugs Response
Since 2003, Exchange House has provided addiction counselling to drugs users and their families.
Education
Exchange House Centre for Education and Development. In 2005, the Christian Brothers gave Exchange House the use of a premises on Great Strand Street, Dublin. Our experience with our target group, the most marginalized Travellers in the Dublin area, indicated that a specific initiative was necessary to engage our clients in a process of education and development which was appropriate to their needs and could offer them adequate support to ensure the most successful outcomes.
