About us

Clonard Monastery Youth Centre (CMYC Belfast) is situated in the grounds of Clonard Monastery, just off the Falls Road in Belfast.

Youth Centre telephone:  02890 325939

Sure Start Programme telephone:  02890 330393

The centre first opened in 1971 and since then, we estimate nearly 10,000 children and young people have been associated with the Youth Centre.

Our aim is:

'to meet the needs of young people through recreational and educational activities'.

We offer a Drop-In facility to young people aged nine to nineteen, five nights a week with at least six residential weekends as well.  We have a very relaxed environment and encourage young people to step inside to chill out, meet their friends and make new friends and to have fun while they participate in the many activities offered each night.

Mission Statement

Clonard Monastery Youth Centre supports young people to realise their full potential and become active citizens in society, through their participation in and association with goals and principles that are educative, participative, enabling and promote equality of opportunity and social inclusion.
