I am under 18 years of age
We work with schools and people under 18 years in Co Monaghan to offer a range of supports, services and activities in partnership with other organisations. If you are an individual under 18 or a group of people under 18 that wants to discuss a particular service or support please contact us.

If you want to secure a work placement in your community, the following programmes can help:
Monaghan Integrated Development operates 2 community employment schemes. These are the Tús Scheme and the Rural Social Scheme (RSS).

Tús
Tús is designed to provide short-term work opportunities for those who are unemployed and on the Live Register. Participants will work for 19½ hours a week and the placement lasts for 12 months. All the work carried out by participants in the Tús programme supports provision of services by community and voluntary bodies.The majority of unemployed people who are eligible for this scheme will be selected at random and contacted by the social welfare office and offered the opportunity to participate in Tús. A small number of places are open to individuals to apply directly. More details on how to participate in Tús are available on our programmes page.

RSS
The Rural Social Scheme is a community work programme aimed at farmers and farm families with a focus on the provision of direct services in the community. The aim of the Rural Social Scheme is to: 
• Provide income support for farmers and fishermen who are currently in receipt of long term Social Welfare payments.
• Provide certain services of benefit to rural communities by harnessing the skills and talents of the farmers participating on the scheme.
• Give participants opportunities to improve existing, or develop new skills, and perform valuable work in the community.
If you are a farmer, or a member of a farm family you may be eligible to participate on this scheme. More details on RSS are available here or you can contact MID on 042 9749500 or email .

Befriending
Befriending Monaghan is a service for older people in Co. Monaghan who are living with social isolation or loneliness. Our volunteers offer regular weekly social contact to people in the comfort of their own homes. Referrals can be made by family, neighbours, social services, health agencies or self-referral. For more information, Click Here
