The charity, which runs the North Argyll Carers Centre in Oban on the mainland, has received a 60,000 grant through the Princess Royal Trust for Carers' Young Carers Grants Programme from Comic Relief to fund the work.
The three-year project will include support groups run during school lunchtimes, one-to-one sessions, as well as email, text and web support.
