We believe in equality of opportunity for children and young people. We believe in the uniqueness, dignity and equal worth of young people and in their right to access opportunities that enhance their lives. Young people should be treated equally. We believe in challenging and making a long-term commitment to transforming unjust social conditions through a pragmatic interface with the real politics of change.
We are committed to social justice around questions of access to education. We aim to promote leadership qualities in young people and volunteers. We emphasise accountability and responsible governance. We value peer educators and role models in our work. I feel really privileged to be given the opportunity to work with young people by Rialto Youth Project. I love it most of the time. Ger Healy, Volunteer. A rewarding experience which has given me great satisfaction through volunteering in Rialto.

Volunteer Support is the ongoing process of engaging with the network of volunteers to develop their skills, enhance their volunteering experience and the quality of their work with young people. Existing Group Support takes the form of needs assessment for various community-based groups. This work requires an understanding of leadership roles.
