Youth Space

NGO “Youth Space” is an organization located in Uzhhorod, on the international edge of Western Ukraine, surrounded by the borders with Slovakia, Poland, Romania and Hungary. Our non-profit youth organization was founded in May, 2014 by the active youth of the region. Inspired by their location, culture and history, many open-minded young people are searching for possibilities to develop, explore, grow and create. Having these preconditions, we decided to establish an organization which will become a platform for young activists who are looking for their own Space for development.
