ONESTIN YOUTH ASSOCIATION

Brief History We established in 2005 from a desire to initiate and promote actions and activities with and for young people. Why? Because we want to communicate more easily with each other; Because we want to develop young people's human relations; Because we want major involvement of youth in cultural and social projects, both locally and at national and European level; Because we want the cultural and moral values to be known, preserved and promoted; Because we believe in young people and their ability to contribute to a better society.

For more than 9 years we conduct a series of activities for our youth in our city Onesti in order to cultivate common sense, to develop their civic spirit, teaching them to communicate and work in teams together to be the change that we want.

Onesti volunteers participate and organize activities such as voluntary eco - May planting, hikes and camps, winter competitions - snowmen, and so on. ONESTIN activities
