🏢 About the local organisation
Fundația Națională pentru Tineret (FNT), established in 2007, stands as a non-profit organization in Romania, serving as an umbrella for 22 County Youth Foundations. At the heart of FNT's mission lies the commitment to advocate for the rights and interests of young people, fostering their active participation in society across Romania.
Targeting a diverse demographic of youth aged 14-35, FNT is dedicated to creating equitable access to developmental opportunities, ensuring every young person can reach their potential.

Our belief is firm: every young individual deserves a platform to engage and make impactful changes. Towards this vision, FNT relentlessly strives to build an inclusive and just society for the youth.
