A youth organisation from Bitola

Youth For Change (YFCH) is a youth organisation in Bitola, North Macedonia. We started in 2022.

We want young people to have a say in what happens around them: in their town, in their school, in the decisions that affect them. So we work on four things: getting young people involved, giving them useful information, speaking up for their rights, and teaching skills outside the classroom.

Most of that happens in Bitola: workshops, public discussions, campaigns, and working together with institutions and other organisations. It is where young people can learn something, say what they think, and turn an idea into something real.

The other part happens abroad. Through Erasmus+, the European Solidarity Corps and our partners across Europe, we send young people and youth workers to trainings and exchanges, and they bring what they learned back home. Fifteen projects so far, in Croatia, Poland, Romania and France.

Young people should not just be counted in. They should have what it takes to change things.

If you are young, curious and from the Bitola region, check the open calls.
