No. 4 Youth Service

Who We Are

Formerly Galway Diocesan Youth Services (GDYS) – No. 4 Youth Service was founded in the early 1980’s in response to the needs of young people at that time. While the organisation has adapted to the needs of the community in the intervening years, it continues to remain true to its mission of:

‘Assisting Young People at Challenging Times’.

No 4 Youth Service aims to enhance the quality of young people’s lives by providing an effective and holistic response to a wide variety of issues pertaining to young people aged 13 – 25 years.

What We Do

‘No. 4 Youth Service’ provides a wide range of supports for young people aged 13 – 25 years, all of which are based on a youth work approach, ensuring that young people aid their own personal development.

We aim to improve the health and well- being of young people through implementing programmes and activities that have an emphasis on intervention and prevention in a range of areas including, education, physical and mental health, homelessness and employability.

Choosing A Strong Password

Chains of words, make passwords easy to remember and harder to crack.

 

To create a password that meets our strength requirements, it’s recommended to use a mix of at least three random words along with a number (not a birthday or 123 etc., just random) and one or more symbols and capitals, but don't capitalize the first letters of the words, e.g.:

  • mower-speaK5shadow
  • table?taPe748goNe.

This password style might not be very common, and it will be much more difficult for computers/bots to crack. It also allows for your passwords to be memorized more easily. Though a password vault may help with that.
