The activities you create should be inclusive since youth house visitors come from different backgrounds and are 13 to 18 y.o We want the volunteers, youth workers, and youngsters to develop an interest in pressing matters like climate change, immigration, etc while enjoying their time participating in fun free time activities and workshops.
