The Glen Youthreach & UCC Connection
The Glen Youthreach Soccer Team visited the UCC MARDYKE Sports a Complex on Friday 25th January. While they were there, they
played a full FUTSOL game and received an extensive tour of all the facilities and all the training methods used by the UCC Teams.
Afterwards they met the President, Chairman and Team Manager of the UCC Soccer Club and talked about the UCC PLUS PRO-
GRAMME. This was an excellent opportunity to see the different training methods used by the teams and to see the world class
facilities available in the UCC Mardyke complex. The Glen Youthreach would also like to thank Hughie O Donovan who is on work
placement from UCC in the Youthreach for his help in organising this.

UCC Plus Programme
Working with linked schools, the UCC PLUS+ Programme (formerly
Access
Programme) seeks to target students and to provide motivational and
educational assistance to them throughout their secondary schooling to
enhance their ability to compete for third level places. Currently there
are a number of schools and colleges of further educations linked to the
Programme for this purpose.
Having achieved entry to the University UCC PLUS+ enables students to
participate fully in student life and reach their full potential.

The Glen Youthreach
& Cork Penny Dinners
The LCA1 class volunteered their services for one day to
help out in preparing, cooking and serving the meals. All
of the students really enjoyed this day and it helped to
change some of the mindset of some of the students in
working with people in need. We will be returning for one
more day before the end of term.
