Kerry Community Youth Service
KCYS
Kerry Community Youth Service (KCYS) is a Youth Work Organisation founded in 1971. In fact KCYS is the leading Youth Work Organisation in the South West of Ireland covering the Diocese of Kerry. This includes the entire county of Kerry, the Beara Peninsula and the North West Cork region of Duhallow.
In November 2024, we changed our name from Kerry Diocesan Youth Service to Kerry Community Youth Service. Anything posted prior to this date remains unaltered.
