Youth Association for Habitat (YFH) is a non-governmental organization which aims at developing capacities and empowering youth in order to make young people active, participative, proposing solutions and implementing their own projects. With the purpose to these targets, our association ensures participation of youth in the national and international youth related events of the United Nations, the European Union, the Council of Europe. Focusing on problems and the needs of youth, we develop and implement concrete projects with active participation of young people.

On one hand, our association attaches importance to information sharing and active participation; on the other hand it’s indispensable for us to carry out our projects in a complimentary way for sustainable effects. With this point of view, all of our projects supporting each other, leaning on international documents and national legislation. Furthermore, we try to share experiences gained at both levels, provide propositions for the development of national and international youth policy.

To be able to achieve this difficult target, Youth for Habitat looks forward to developing partnerships with related institutions at local, national and international level. For this end, we try to establish partnerships with the international organizations, the governments, local authorities, NGOs and the private sector.

All of the projects carried out by YFH take its power from young people. It is impossible to change the local environment and the world we live in without creating opportunities for young people to realize their demands, dreams and ideals and without their volunteer contribution. For this reason, we succeed in our projects with the support of hundreds of thousands of young volunteers at local and national level.
