Youth Connect for Ukraine aims to support young Ukrainians to lead fulfilling and purposeful lives now, wherever they are living. It aspires to support young people, including women, girls and those from disadvantaged groups affected by the war in Ukraine, to have the skills and motivation to build connections in their local context and influence their own future and their communities.

The programme includes a series of specialised training sessions and activities aimed at strengthening leadership qualities, essential in times of crisis, and fostering civic engagement among young people. It is a space where a new generation learns to lead, act and transform the world around them.
