About This Project

Close to YOUth Association, based in Craiova, Romania, works closely with children and teenagers to build their confidence, guiding principles, and essential life skills. A vibrant community with active and responsible citizens is key to healthy social development. Investing in the young generation now will empower teenagers to become tomorrow's leaders who will transform our city.

It all began with a simple question:

Where can young people in Craiova truly be themselves—learn, create, and prepare for the future?

The answer is in a YouthHUB.

A space that is coming to life right now, built with and for the community. More than a building, YouthHUB is a place of belonging—where children and young people are heard, supported, and encouraged to grow.

We have been committed to providing continuous, value-based education to the children and youth of Craiova since 2009. So far, over 4,000 children and teenagers have already benefited from our programs. And this is only the beginning.

Together, we are building YouthHUB – Close to Youth:
a place where young people discover who they are, gain confidence, and learn how to become fulfilled, responsible, and engaged adults.

No matter where you are in the world, you can be close to their future. Our roots grow across borders. Let’s nurture the dreams of Craiova’s children and make them become reality —TOGETHER.

Donate online today.

It’s easier than you think to stay close to the ones back home—and to invest in their future.
