Youth Day 2013
Sunday the 21st of April saw over 1,300 young people coming together to celebrate KDYS youth clubs and youth projects. The Day started at 12pm and saw over 20 buses arrive at the INEC Killarney from all corners of the Kerry Diocese. The day which went on till 5pm was packed full of activities for young people including boot camps, inflatables, battle of the bands, martial arts, Social gamer game room, creative art space, Rap showcases and a disco to name a few. The central theme of the event was the promotion of positive mental health with a number of organisations like Inspire Ireland and See change coming on board to spread tips and pointers on positive mental health. Tim O Donoghue CEO of the KDYS said Youth Day has been running for 32 years and it is a major event for our charity. Youth Day connects young people from all over the County in a day that celebrates youth in a creative and fun way. It is a permanent fixture on our calendar and generations of Kerry people have wonderful memories of their own time at Youth Day down through the years. The KDYS was founded in 1971 to support young people, youth clubs and volunteers and Youth day brings them all together is a spirit of inclusion and positivity. The day could not happen without the support of all the KDYS volunteers, Youth Club leaders and parents who work very hard to ensure that the 1300 young people have an unforgettable day. The KDYS also wish to thank the INEC team, the order of Malta and a number of businesses who provided support on the day including Lee Strand, Eircom and number of local KDYS suppliers.
