SALT GENCLIK DERNEGI

SALT Youth Association is a youth-oriented social initiative since 2011 and in July 2019 it gained association status. We have a large potential of members and followers throughout Turkey. We aim youth to take active roles in the society with the idea of "for the youth with the youth". We voluntarily organize social and cultural activities at local, national and international levels led by our youth workers, volunteers, students, trainers, and project experts who are active in art, media, training and project management. Our target group is socially and economically disadvantaged young people aged 18-35. We are a member of Youth Organizations Forum (Go-For), Anna Lindh Foundation. We are also partner of ESN Turkey (Erasmus Student Network) in our country.

We organize local, national and international activities like meeting, seminars, workshops and conduct international projects.
