A Community Development Project Rooted in Mahon
Mahon Community Development Project (Mahon CDP) was established in 1992 as a youth and community project in an urban designated disadvantaged area of Cork City. We're a non-profit NGO, managed by a voluntary board of management, and proudly independent — built by the community, for the community.
From our resource centre on Mahon Drive, we run a childcare facility and youth centre alongside targeted programmes for older people, those affected by mental ill health, people who are unemployed, and young fathers — plus generic, intergenerational and intercultural youth work.
Our reach extends beyond Mahon too: through our Childcare Community Employment Training Scheme, we support a further 50 employees in childcare facilities across the south of Cork City and East Cork.
