Our main priority is the participation of youngsters to local, national and global problems and to teach how to react to those problems and work to solve them.
Even its name has a youth tag; KOZA is a volunteer-based organization (aged 7-77) and trying to be in various fields, not only youth. Such as; giving free swimming/scuba diving courses for disabled people, preparing campaigns for pollution and climate change, organizing language clubs, preparing workshops for children in Roma Communities and so on. We can’t say, what are our main working topics. Because with the participation of every new volunteer; we are growing and becoming more diversified. We are preparing different trainings, workshops and seminars; to help volunteers develop their personal and professional skills, to work as a team and to evaluate their ideas to a project. That’s why every new volunteer means a new topic/area for us to work on.
