Mia Mullen from Monaghan Town has been selected to take part in the National Youth Council of Ireland's (NYCI) 2026 Local Champions programme, a national initiative that supports young people to advocate for youth work and represent the voices of young people in their communities.
Mia, who has been involved with Cavan and Monaghan Rainbow Youth, joins Mullahoran based Local Champion Aoibhe Beatty who is a returning local champion.
Local Champions are young people aged 18-25 who have experienced the benefits of youth work and want to help ensure that youth services are recognised and supported by decision-makers.
