JRS Ireland works principally in the areas of:

Asylum Seeker Support: It provides support to persons seeking asylum through direct outreach, language classes and psychosocial support.

Integration: It seeks to contribute to integration by providing language support, by running capacity building courses, by organising intercultural events and by developing intercultural services and resources for teachers and migrant parents.

Detention: It visits immigration detainees in prisons, organises training for detention visitors, and advocates for more just detention policies.

Advocacy: It works for fairer immigration and asylum systems through lobbying, submission of policy papers, education and media work and collaboration with other organisations.

Slí Eile is a Jesuit Centre for Young Adults with offices in Gardiner St and Ballymun, Dublin and Sea Road Galway. We have a wide range of creative and engaging programmes that serve young people between 18- 35 years old.

The key focus for the organisation is to be a companion with young adults as they journey through third level education or in the workplace.

Our programmes are Ignatian based, empowering young adults with Christian values and seeking ways to bring life to “finding God in all things”. We group our programmes under the headings of Spirituality, Justice and Community.

All donations directly goes to help the relief of the suffering. The office invites all people of good will to donate to one of our projects or support a volunteer for two years in the developing countries.
