About Citywise

​Citywise Education works within underserved communities, offering programmes that raise young people’s educational aspirations, supporting them to reach their full potential. Citywise serves over 2,000 young people each year, with personal development, STEAM, and academic based programmes, building on the important work being done in schools to create a community approach to ending educational disadvantage.

 

Citywise has achieved significant success in helping young people progress to further and higher education. Progression rates to 3rd level education for members of our Fast Track Academy programme have been consistently above 85% in recent years. This has and will continue to have a positive knock-on effect for the communities we serve.

 

The very first Citywise programmes took place in the Dublin city centre in 1991. The programmes grew from then and over the years Citywise has run programmes in Limerick, Belfast, Ballymun and in Westmeath. We now run after-school and out-of-school activities for underserved young people and support other organisations to do the same.
