Youth Organizations’ Network

SYFS’s successful development over the years constitutes a success story that attracts an increasing number of community organizations looking for lessons learned, experience-sharing, and an example to follow. In response to this demand, SYFS has initiated Youth Organizations’ Network. Initiated in 2007 and re-activated in 2014 under SYFS leadership the Network brings together 24 organizations in both Gaza Strip and West Bank, all dedicated to supporting youth positive engagement with society. Its membership keeps growing as the increasing number of organizations adhere to the Network’s Code of Conduct. SYFS coordinates the meetings and collective efforts towards more effective engagement of youth in society, and improved opportunities for youth interventions positively contributing to social development including through involving the Network’s members in sub-granting agreements from SYFS to conduct activities in youth volunteerism community engagement.
