The Irish Deaf Youth Association (IDYA) is a not for profit organisation which welcomes Deaf and hard of hearing youths aged 18-30.

The IDYA also caters for children aged 13-17 through organised activities run by Irish Deaf Teens. The IDYA’s aim is to provide a social outlet for young people to gather together to learn about their culture and to promote inclusion through events, activities, workshops, youth exchange (internationally and nationally) and providing information via Sign Language.
