Resumo: The Youth Center is a community space and youth node in the town that functions as a meeting place for young people and increasingly for the whole community. The story of Youth Center dates back in 2008, when the need for a common youth space was articulated. After years of negotiations with the local authorities, 300 m2 of an old monastery came into use by local young people and youth organizations in 2012. Youth center was thus formed as an umbrella organization by 3 local NGO. Young volunteers renovated the spaces and furnished it with second-hand and DIY furniture, donated by inhabitants and businesses. In 2018, we took over another part of the building with the youth hostel, making it easier to host international activities in the town. There is 6 people employed by the youth center and the youth hostel currently, 2 of which work specifically in the program activities of the youthcenter.

We represent the interests of young people and try to connect active youth associations and other NGOs within the field and to support them in their own projects and we regularly cooperate with local schools and municipality. The values we follow are connection, knowledge, creativity, support and social responsibility. The main topics we are addressing lately are protecting environment, youth street work, local policies for young people, youth participation, local youth tourism, international mobility and active free time in the local community.
