springboard opportunities
Provides opportunities for young people from diverse backgrounds to strengthen communities through public service and help foster the creation of a new social infrastructure. Funding goes towards educational awards.

"Support from The American Ireland Fund has helped Springboard provide a unique opportunity for 12 disadvantaged young people and 12 groups working in disadvantaged areas. Through the Urban Service Project, young people strengthened disadvantaged communities through public service, developing leadership skills and an understanding of cultural diversity.”
