Localise In Your School
Youth volunteerism, civic engagement, service skills for life.
Localise Schools Programmes enable young people aged 11 to 18 to carry out local grassroots volunteer projects in the service of others. By partnering with Secondary schools and Primary schools we combine, in a very structured way, education, youth volunteering and service to others, bringing what is learnt in the classroom out into the wider community.
Young people in Primary School (6th class) in Secondary School (through Wellbeing, CSPE, Politics and Society, LCA, TY and Junior Cycle Short Courses) can get involved one of our programmes: The Spirit of Service, Volunteering for All, Service Skills For Life and Volunteering For All Workshops. Although the Localise programme is complementary to the school curriculums outlined, it utilises volunteering, experiential and informal learning techniques and methodologies.
Localise has been working in partnership with schools since 2007.
