Action for Youth

Youth Empowerment is an attitudinal, structural, and cultural process whereby young people gain the ability, authority, and agency to make decisions and implement change in their own lives and the lives of other people, including youth and adults.

With having a team of well experienced, dedicated, committed professional development workers involving youth professional volunteers and others, OSVSWA have been successfully progressing in the field of action for youth through research, study, effective planning and implementation of Erasmus+, KA2 - Kapacity Building for Youth, EVS and other related programs to reach the mission of the organization.

It has been a trend for the organization and its team to put its best effort towards the initiative it accepts. The availability of expertise within the organization and keenness to learn from ground level realities provides sufficient insight for the organization to implement any youth in action projects.
