Association of Developing Youth

DevYou was founded in 2022 by a group of motivated young people, who are passionate about helping youth reach their potential. We chose to establish this NGO so that we can contribute to the personal and professional development of young people. Our main goal is to prepare young people for the challenges of the future. This includes personal challenges such as employment, finding their passions in life, relationships, personal struggles, and global challenges: digital security and environmental issues. Our activities are both on a local, regional, and international level. We organize workshops, youth meetings, events, and trainings locally, where we target young people from various backgrounds to participate. International projects are also a central activity in our association. We mostly target short-term youth mobilities (through Erasmus+ and Visegrad Fund), but we also aspire to take part in longer, more complex, and impactful strategic cooperations. We are determined because we believe that these events, projects (both local and international), other than their direct formative value, create the perfect opportunities for youngsters to belong to a community, to improve their soft skills, and to become more open-minded and active citizens in their own environments. What we aim for: o preparing young people for employment and a successful career o supporting youth in improving their soft skills o educating youth in becoming more tolerant and open-minded individuals o encouraging young people to become entrepreneurs and to develop an entrepreneurial mindset o raising awareness about environmental issues to young people and to educate them on how to make a difference o supporting youth initiatives, innovation, and creativity o promoting sports activities and a healthy lifestyle to young people o promoting European Union values and youth opportunities provided by the EU o establishing lasting and fruitful international cooperations with foreign associations
