Shaping the future
What is this project about?
This project was created in response to the growing challenges faced by small NGOs and youth organisations, which play a crucial role in supporting vulnerable communities and empowering young people. Despite their importance, these organisations often struggle with issues like financial instability, volunteer burnout, and organisational crises, which threaten their long-term survival.“Shaping the Future: Strengthening Resilience in Youth NGOs” brings together 20 youth workers from at least 12 different organisations across Europe to share experiences, discuss common challenges, and develop practical solutions. The main goal is to equip youth workers with the skills and knowledge needed to manage internal crises, build stronger organisational structures, and advocate for better access to funding.
