Resumo: The child and youth union was founded in 1993. Members are between 5 and 30 years old and are mostly young people with fewer opportunities – most of them come from low income families. Our aim is the promotion and protection of rights and interests of children and the encouragement of active and creative youth development.

The organization supports young people in taking initiative and realising their ideas. Together with the different age groups we organise international meetings, sport days, camps, educational activities etc.

We want that young people become empowered to become active in the society, to spend their leisure time as funny and productive as possible, to have an international spirit and to be aware that children have the right to take decisions.

Our office is situated in one of the bigest and most inhabitated areas in the city. There are block houses around and very good public transport connection with the central part of town. The sea is a 3 min walk from our office and the surroundings is very green. So this is a perfect place for outdoor activities. A 5 min walk from the office is an old fortification system, with small knolls, forest etc.

Our second activity centre-Karosta is located in rural part of the city. There is a wonderful nature and big park in the front of the centre. We plan to renovate this place for every person can find something for himself. There will be another brunch of our office, space for activities, even a small gym for physical activities. We have space for 2 small rooms where volunteers can live in comfort. Also we will have kitchen, where we plan to provide local poor children with some food. Karosta itself is very wonderful and green place. Seaside is 10 min walk, surrounded by forests-ideal place for grow-up.

The city is non-official free-minded people town of Latvia. From here come varoius musicians, artists, painters, sportists. The town offers a wide range of cultural and social activities. Films are shown in many languages in the cinema, many diverse events take place and many opportunities for doing different sports are given. Various styles of pubs, clubs and restaurants are open to a wide spectrum of people. This gives any young person the possibility to choose between the activities he/she likes and to meet nice people.
