Mark joined us in March 2025 as a Youth Justice Worker on the TRY team. Prior to joining Solas Project, he spent two years working in addiction and homeless services and holds a degree in Addiction Studies from Maynooth University. Drawing on his own lived experience, Mark brings empathy, connection, and understanding to his work with young people. In his own words:

“I love meeting young people where they’re at and making sure they don’t stay there, supporting them on their journey and seeing them feel proud of their progress.”

Originally from Coolock, outside of work Mark enjoys motorbikes, running, hiking, going to the gym, and spending time with family.
