Anti-social behaviour and intimidation is found almost everywhere in our cities, towns and local communities. Purposeless, bored and disaffected young people are often part of the problem.
We work with the most desperate, and most out of order youth, their parents and carer’s through pioneering and successful work in schools, communities and prisons throughout Ireland.
As young people’s lives are changed for the better, young people become representatives of a better way to their peers. Whole families, friendship groups and even communities can be changed.Newsflash
Open 24/7
The challenge we face at Bad Boy Turned Good, in responding to offending behaviours is to move beyond simplistic explanations and responses. We work for systemic justice as well as encouraging personal responsibility. We respond to the whole person, Body, Mind & Spirit........... unlike other agencies we are available 24/7
