Youth Alliance – Krusevo Youth Alliance-Krushevo (YAK) is not your typical youth organization – we're a vibrant community of dynamic individuals aged 15 to 35, breaking barriers and reshaping the landscape of youth engagement since our establishment in 1999. It’s a movement dedicated to infusing life into every sphere of social existence. 107 enthusiastic members, actively working, studying, and championing the EU integration process of the region. Supported by a network of 109 national and international partners, 12 program-specific experts, and a squad of 25 energetic volunteers aged 16 to 23. Targeting the cool crowd aged 16-29 in North Macedonia, YAK's ripple effect extends to decision-makers, educational institutions, media, and the private sector. The best part? The entire population benefits as our engaged and employed youth become catalysts for socio-economic development. Our priorities? Think regional cooperation, youth involvement in EU integration, cutting-edge innovations, and a vibrant youth scene pulsating with participation and citizenship.
