The Dermot Earley Youth Leadership Initiative is a partnership between the GAA, Foróige, NUI Galway and the Dermot Earley family which aims to enable young people to enhance their leadership skills and qualities and challenges them to use these skills both on and off the pitch for the betterment of society. The programme aims to empower young people to make a positive difference to their society through the practice of effective leadership. It is based on the values and leadership qualities demonstrated by the late Dermot Earley Senior, one of the GAA’s and Ireland’s greatest leaders. The programme will run approximately from late October to May. The Dermot Earley Youth Leadership Initiative has been accredited by the National University of Ireland, Galway, as a Foundation Certificate in Youth Leadership and Community Action.
We are the first GAA club in County Clare to take on this exciting programme. However, we need a few more volunteers to help run this initiative. The programme will be facilitated by trained Eire Óg volunteers and the programme will be held locally. Already four members of the club have become trained facilitators. Training for the DEYL Initiative will take place online on Friday 7th October (6.30pm - 9.30pm) Saturday 8th October (10am - 4pm)
