Organisation’s central objective

Organisation’s central objective is to assist young people in the implementation of their ideas on the basis of voluntary service and non-formal education. LYVS is working to develop the volunteer movement in Belarus and to increase the access of young people to the information about the participation opportunities in the field of non-formal education, to develop their civil and social competencies. Organisation’s projects aim to support the development of active citizenship and contribute to the development of the sense of responsibility, critical thinking, intercultural communication skills among the participants and members of the organisation. The participation in our projects is based on the principle of free choice.
