Skyview Story So Far:
Skyview YC was set up in January 2005 by a group of volunteers and the Shannon youth Worker. The Club was set up to provide secondary school goers with an outlet to make new friends and have contact with young adult volunteers in a safe and comfortable environment. The club has 9 leaders who meet regularly to plan club night activities.

Membership

The club is open to secondary school students from first to third year in Shannon aged 13-16. To join simply go to The Respond Community Building, Rineanna View any Thursday during the club season from 7pm to 9pm and register with a volunteer in charge.
Admission is €2 per night.

Who we cater for:
The club altered the age group it caters for in 2007 from 13-18 to 13-16 years. It is hoped that this younger age group will benefit more from the club experience as they will be of similar age and will be able to relate to each other better.
 
The Kick Back Cafe
Shannon now has a Youth Café  for young people aged 16-21 in the same venue as the youth club. This runs from 5-10p.m. on Fridays and Saturday from 4-9pm and is known as The Kick Back Café or KBC to those in the know.
