Information for Parents and Adults

Waterford Youth Arts provides an outlet for artistic expression among young people. Youth arts activity is a proven method of personal development and education. Through youth arts, WYA aims to:

• enable young people to articulate their needs clearly in a safe group

• enable young people to develop interpersonal skills, such as confidence, social interaction, responsibility sharing, planning, decision making, and problem sharing

• introduce young people to new and innovative elements of the arts

• provide training and education in creative skills

WYA is always interested in finding new potential adult leaders. We offer in-service training and huge challenges. Are you interested? If so, ring WYA at 051-879377. (WYA operates a screening process to ensure safety within the organisation.)
