Start a YouthBank

In all countries of the world, young people are recognized as a group that must be encouraged to actively participate in society and improve their knowledge and skills for the future. The leadership, participation, and well-being of young people are key to accelerating economic development, reducing poverty, and building sustainable societies. Yet, young people have limited access to opportunities to participate in their communities.

Everybody talks the talk but very few Walk the Walk!

Why GO! Package?

TESTIMONIALS

Testimonials

Ursu Alex (18), Moldova

YouthBank impressed me with the effect of its challenge.  I started the development of a potential project by following all the steps that were given to us. I started to compile everything by myself: the need for the project, the rationale, the goal and objectives, the problem tree, etc. In the end, I was amazed –  how could I have composed such a thing?

Now I wonder, how many skills and talents are hidden inside me, just waiting for an impulse to surface? And how many are hidden inside you?

Procopciuc Nikita (17), Moldova

YouthBank helped me in my training. After the experiences I got from YouthBank I became a much braver person and it showed me how much I can do and what potential I have in life.

With YouthBank I discovered that a group of like-minded people, together with a good leader, can do great things. YouthBank is the place where you just want more and more new knowledge!

Erin Wright (19), UK

I think putting the money directly in young people’s hands, to then put that money in other young people’s hands is so important.  It was a real life experience of how these resources can be used and that’s something that’s followed me through. Not just about having a voice and having a say, but also having direct action and having access to resources and  being responsible for them being used well!

Now I wonder, how many skills and talents are hidden inside me, just waiting for an impulse to surface? And how many are hidden inside you?

Julia Matei (20), Romania

YouthBank is a platform that creates young entrepreneurs, interested in the well-being and development of the community in which they live. It shapes a path for young leaders to be.

I can proudly say that YouthBank has been my second home for 3 years and that it has shown me what we are able to achieve through commitment and dedication.

Now I wonder, how many skills and talents are hidden inside me, just waiting for an impulse to surface? And how many are hidden inside you?
