Description

About the Organisation

The Glenelly Children’s and Recreation Education Centre NPC is a community-based organisation dedicated to nurturing children’s potential through education, recreation, and holistic development. The Centre provides a safe and engaging environment for children in the Glenelly area, offering after-school programmes, creative learning activities, and recreational opportunities that encourage growth, curiosity, and self-confidence.

Why It Matters

Children’s well-being and education are foundational to the health and future of any community. Many young people in under-resourced areas face barriers to learning and recreation due to limited access to safe spaces, resources, and mentorship.

By volunteering with Glenelly Children’s and Recreation Education Centre, you will help create meaningful experiences that encourage learning, play, and personal growth. Your involvement supports the Centre’s mission of empowering young people to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally while fostering a sense of belonging and hope for the future.
