They want to see changes made in the upcoming Budget.
Youth Work Ireland says Budget 2025 needs to include a more sustainable funding model for youth workers.
The organisation has launched a new initiative to support young LGBT-plus people in rural Ireland.
It's met Children's Minister Roderic O'Gorman to highlight what these young people need to improve their day to day lives.
With a week to go until the Budget, Christina Fitzharris from Youth Work Ireland Laois, who's also a member of the Midlands LGBT+ Project, says there needs to be a change in how funding for the sector is managed:
