About Youth Information Chat

Youth Information Chat offers information, advice and guidance about the issues that matter to young people. It is a free, non-judgemental, one-to-one, online chat and email service for young people.

The service is available to all young people aged 16 – 25 years old,  as well as parents, guardians, friends, family and those working with young people.

The service is staffed by Youth Information Officers from Crosscare, YMCA and Youth Work Ireland. The Officers aim to enable young people to make their own informed choices and become independent and active citizens through accessible information sharing.

The service is open Monday to Friday from 4:00 – 8:00 PM (excluding Bank Holidays). Outside of those hours, young people can leave a message at any time, day or night, and we will reply to them by email during our opening hours.
