Youth for Change succeeded in reaching out and supporting hundreds of Arab youth in the different targeted Arab countries:

  • 9 youth have been chosen as focal points to coordinate and promote the program activities in their countries.
  • 9 host organizations supported and promoted the program. This promotion along with TIG and BA networks made it possible for over 360 youth to participate in the open forums and over 100 to participate in the live chats.
  • We received 55 project applications for the mini-grants of which 13 were offered the mini-grants. These projects focused on crucial issues facing young people in the Arab world such as employment, education, environment, HIV/AIDS, health, culture and identity, cross-cultural dialogue, and human rights and democracy.
