About Amplify

The key objective of Investment Area 3.2 is to: ‘enhance the capacity of children and young people to form positive and effective relationships with others of a different background, develop their confidence and future potential, and contribute towards the creation of a more cohesive society’.

Specifically, the AMPLIFY project will engage young people who are disadvantaged, excluded or marginalised and who are aged 14-24 yrs across defined regions and communities in Northern Ireland and the border counties of Ireland.

Through an established and creative partnership, underpinned by youth work principles and practices (youth participation and co-design), we will maximise the reach to young people who have fallen on hard times and who experience volatile and chaotic lives and where their vulnerability is heightened. Young people who are at risk of anti-social influences, unemployment and who have languishing mental health will be prioritised.
