St. Comgall's Youth Club

St Comgall’s Youth Club is a voluntary run, parish-based youth club associated to the Parish of Antrim. The youth club aims to improve young people’s lives and to empower, encourage and support them in achieving the broad range of skills required to address the challenges they may encounter as they journey toward becoming responsible adults. Naturally the work we do must be fun, engaging and stimulating but it should also demonstrate the highest standards of respect for the values, teaching and mission of the Parish of Antrim, to which we are associated. In all of our activities we should act in a balanced and just manner, demonstrate high standards of respect and courtesy and contribute to a collaborative and supportive atmosphere among those with whom we work. Our Vision is to build a better, brighter and vibrant future for the young people of the parish  Our Mission is to offer a supportive, encouraging and safe environment that helps young people fulfil their potential, feel more empowered in making informed, ethical and moral choices, and to contribute more fully to a thriving local community.

 1. Integrity - We will remain true to our mission and work in an honest, transparent and ethical way to provide an exceptional service to the young people of our parish
