📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The County Foundation for Youth Botoșani is a non-profit organisation with the mission to improve and upgrade the status of the local youth.
The County Foundation for Youth Botoșani is a non-profit organisation founded on May 24, 1990, by a group of energetic youth advocates and reformers who came together intending to improve and upgrade the status of the local youth, respecting their values, beliefs and freedoms. It owns a Youth House, which includes the House of Culture, Science and Technology for Youth, the Youth Hostel and the Sports and Leisure Base of Botoșani. Our mission is to respond to the real needs of the youth and prepare them for the challenges of the 21st century, marked by continuous change and unpredictability. We have vast experience running local, regional, national and international projects that promote civic education, green, pollution-free environment, and anti-discrimination, alongside carrying out volunteer training, scout and camp training, cultural events and artistic workshops. Our vision is to uphold the democratic and European core of values for the benefit of the youth, amplifying their never-ending potential and supporting them to grow in a safe, inclusive and diverse environment. We believe in young people as the driving force and motivation behind the progress of humanity. Our ultimate goal is to support this energy for the youth to learn, experiment, and implement. Awareness and understanding are not enough; we need proactive action.
