  The Salesian Pastoral Youth Service (SPYS) is a Maltese Salesian team of religious and lay youth leaders that aims to develop and implement a programme of holistic formation for young people. The project started in 1995 by developing programmes with a target group in the local area of Sliema, Malta, and now operates nationally.
  
  The group now also has involvement on a wider European scale as well as in developing countries through its international office, SPYS.int.
  
  SPYS has been since 2004 also a member of the Don Bosco Youth-Net - a network of European Salesian organizations that provides training and support to young people.
