Our Impact

Our long-term goals mainly include:

• Inspiring young people to take an active role in their futures, and teaching them that their voices are strong and vital to the decision-making process

• Supporting the youth group with their leadership skills, strengthening their civic engagement, and ensuring they have the proper skills to thrive in their futures—not only will this aid young people in becoming leaders in their communities, but also inspire their peers to be more active members of society.

Our Impact

YEP has been active for seven years, and during this time, more than 50 activists have supported the mission and goals.
Currently, there are nine different projects our members participate in or lead. These projects include the following: Say It, TechUp, Film It, YEP Talks, My Future, Techathon, Gostronic, and My City, My Pride. Through these projects, YEP has supported over 600 young people by assisting them with obtaining various technical skills, providing mentorship, and fostering their activism.
In addition to the regularly scheduled projects, YEP holds informal activities — like movie nights or group hikes — for the members. During the academic year 2018-2019, approximately 200 people from Gostivar have attended these events.
Not only are these events a way for members to develop their skills and knowledge, but they also serve as a networking event.
