Our main mission is to empower and inform young people about the opportunities that exist for them, both at national and European level, providing opportunities for personal and professional growth and learning in the most diverse areas through the methodology of Non-Formal Education. We believe that all young people deserve access to resources and support to help them reach their full potential.
At CJA, we offer a variety of projects and activities designed to meet the diverse needs of young people in our community. Our projects are focused on both youth and education, among the various opportunities, you can find workshops, youth exchanges, training courses, school sessions, local and international volunteering.
We have a team of experienced professionals who are passionate about working with young people and are dedicated to creating a positive and inclusive environment where every young person feels valued and supported.
