Our association founded on July 2006 in Gaziantep by the volunteer students of Gaziantep University. Despite the fact that Gaziantep has many possibilities for youth people and volunteers projects, there are not enough organizations for them. Although our association has been founded yet, it will have an important role to fill up this blank. Our target groups are children and young people.
The aims of the organizations are;
- Being organized between children and youth people by legal and juristic personality,
- Being situated between children and youth people in the process of management, decision and administration with the comprehension of equality,
