The Youth Engagement Service provides advice, information and support on any youth-related issue.
Our Services
Youth Engagement Service (YES)
Funded by the Public Health Agency, Extern's Belfast and Bangor YES projects have successfully been engaging with young people on behalf of Extern since 2016. Both projects offer a safe social space for young people aged 11-25 within which a confidential health and well-being service is offered.

Key areas of frequent support include mental health and well-being, sexual health, problem substance use, education, employment and advice and signposting.
Each project has its own weekly programmes, including age specific drop-ins, events and needs-led activities.
There is also an outreach element to the service, which is carried out through engagement with other youth and community groups and a variety of educational settings.
Engagement in the service is voluntary and we welcome contact from anyone who wants to know more about the service or to get involved with either project.
