Resumo: The hosting organization was established in 1993. We work mainly in the areas of theatre, education, youth work and community development. We provide a forum in which young people can develop the skills necessary to be active and creative citizens. We do this by integrating youth work values into arts-based programmes (with a focus on theatre and performance).We organise and run:
• drama-based personal development workshops,
• film making workshops that explore youth issues
• music lessons, jam sessions, and Open Mic Nights
• dance workshops – street dance, hip-hop, and shuffle dance - particularly for non-Irish-national young people
• leadership training for those aged 14-25. We promote positive mental health initiatives. We work with marginalized young people and early school-leavers. We integrate young people with special needs into mainstream workshops. We bring young people from all of the socio-economic classes and backgrounds together in one place. Our work is mostly voluntary and we do not have any core, paid staff.

We have a trained panel of facilitators who work with a wide variety of organisations. Since its inception Crooked House has worked with youth groups throughout Kildare, Ireland and abroad, on themes of social justice, equality, human rights, and community development. These themes are expressed through workshops, devised pieces and plays. The majority of this work aims to promote positive mental health; increase citizenship abilities; promote equality and develop critical thinking.

Perfil: Volunteers should:
- have some experience of drama. Ideally volunteers will have theatre performance experience. However, you may have studied it in school or university. Or you may have directed a play or acted in one.
- be aged 20 to 30. Some exceptions to this may be made but we favour those aged at least 20.
- have initiative
– ie, they are able to start their own work
- be prepared for cold, dark and wet winters
- be able to work in flexible, changing, and organically structured environments.
- be able to work alone and in groups.
- be creative.

Tarefas: This solidarity project aims to give volunteers in-depth experience of using drama to explore issues with young people. We run a youth theatre for those aged 11years to 24 years. It also aims to provide a training and learning space for volunteers to practice drama facilitation, acting, running a youth theatre project, and managing a theatre company.

The volunteers will shadow experienced drama facilitators in their work; plan and implement their own drama and/or film projects with our youth theatre; take part, if they wish, in productions along-side their peers; and receive one-to-one mentoring support. One of the main aims of our project is to create space for volunteers' personal and social development. Developing new skills we hope they will have higher chances of employment in the future. Our project's focus on social inclusion and equal opportunities for young people, as all our groups are mixed in terms of gender, social, economic and cultural backgrounds.
