Description of organisation

Youth Centre Domžale was founded in 1998. It is a public institute, located in a town of Domžale in central Slovenia. It provides activities for young people between 7 and 30 years, their parents, youth workers and other experts in the field of youth and social work.

The principal aims of the Youth Centre are:
- to provide support for youth in the local area,
- to give them opportunity to spend their free time wisely and
- to encourage them to get actively involved in a society on a local, national, and international level.

To achieve these goals we run various activities, which are held by Youth Centre Domžale alone or in cooperation with other Slovenian and international organizations. Activities include: educational activities (with special focus on the recognition of non-formal education and development of new competences for personal and professional growth of young people), voluntary work, cultural and creative workshops, sport activities, information and counselling, prevention activities, intergenerational activities, promotion of active participation and active citizenship, international activities.

Youth Centre Domžale runs Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps programmes on regular basis. We organise youth exchanges, mobility of youth workers, long term individual volunteering and short-term volunteering teams projects. Since 2015 we are regional partner of Eurodesk network. We have five employees and number of volunteers, who help us on weekly basis.
