• Fostering youth economic empowerment through enhanced employability.
• Facilitating intercultural dialogue between Georgian youth and young people from around the word.

The organization targets individuals aged 13 to 30, with a particular emphasis on youth belonging to various demographic groups, including those with disabilities, ethnic minorities, families with lower economic incomes, individuals who are internally displaced, and those hailing from rural regions.
Youth Horizon employs a diverse set of strategies, encompassing non-formal educational activities, advocacy for policy reform, awareness-raising campaigns, sporting events, exchange programs, volunteering initiatives, service learning, mentorship, and internship opportunities.
