Organizacijos aprašas

Due to the economical declaim in Latvia, many orphanages where closed down at 2007 and all the children disseminated to other orphanages or sent home. Without the guidance of beloved teachers and social workers, they ended up in jail and in the drug/alcohol rehabilitation centers. This experience inspired 3 friends to make the organization which would assist young disadvantaged people in their decisions, because it is very easy in the age of 14-20 to make irreversible mistakes, which would affect you for all your life.
On March, 2008 we established the organization “Jaunatne par iesaistisanos” (Youth for involvement)* with the fallowing goals:
• To involve young socially marginalized people such as orphans, unemployed young people, physically or mentally challenged young persons, school drop outs, youngsters with behavior problems, representatives from national minorities, inhabitants of the rural areas into society;
• To provide necessary training to improve social skills and the level of education;
• To promote healthy and socially active lifestyle;
*In the autumn of 2014 the name of the organization was changed into "Jaunatne par", "Youth for" we thought it will have a broader and more positive sense.
