We will promote volunteering and youth engagement in local community development all across Poland. According to the data from the Central Statistical Office of Poland, our youth is not engaged in volunteering and has a very little sense of influence over its environment. Additionally, they often lack knowledge or ideas on how to engage in civic work. We want to engage a cohort of 30 young people between 16 and 20 years old, who have ideas for their communities. We will train them and support them in preparing and conducting their projects with an additional help from volunteers they will recruit. Our main goal is to find and support youth leaders, who will inspire others in their community.
We use the grant for capacity building
