1. The advancement of Citizenship or Community Development The Catholic Guides of Ireland Northern region delivers a varied and comprehensive programme to girls and young women aged 5-25 years that aims to increase their confidence, skills and knowledge so that they become active, responsible citizens. The programmes are age-specific, progressive
and challenging. They allow our members to build friendships, work as part of a team, make decisions and take on leadership roles at many levels. The various programmes are implemented by a team of well-trained, committed volunteers who ensure that programme delivery takes place within a safe and relaxed environment where the girls and young women have fun, develop their potential, and gain an understanding of their role in both their homes and society as a whole. They become aware also of the responsibilities that these roles bring. 2. The Advancement of Religion The work of the Catholic Guides of Ireland Northern Region is underpinned by our Catholic values and ethos and our commitment to encourage our members to live their lives using the moral values of Respect, Integrity and Service. We take a holistic approach to develop the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual abilities and well-being of all our members. Although we are a Catholic organisation, membership is open to all sections of the community and we have a strong emphasis on community relations, equity and diversity which is aligned to our christian values and beliefs. 3. The advancement of Education. The guiding programme is delivered in such a way that it encourages each member to do her best and to aspire to be the best she can be. Our principals are based on active learning, practical first hand experiences, support and encouragement. All members are listened to, their opinions respected and their achievements celebrated. Our informal learning experience is designed to build confidence, be fun and to allow the children and young women to make choices that enable them to realise their full potential. Our programmes and delivery methods are reviewed on a regular basis and are supported, recognised and monitored at local, regional, national and international levels within the guiding community.
