The Youth Center is a youth-shaped community space in Szécsény, where local young people can not only take part in programs but also build community, develop new skills, learn, and have a say in shaping their own future.
It is a safe and open space where it feels good to be, where young people’s voices matter, and where they can experience that they are important. In 2024, we purchased an old, unused building in Szécsény, which we are transforming into a youth center. Renovation is ongoing, supported by extensive volunteer work and donations. The backyard and courtyard are already taking shape, and community programs have started in the rear part of the building. We have the space, but there are still many things missing from the inside.
On this page, we are continuously compiling a list of items and supplies that we urgently need in order to welcome local youth into a truly livable, cozy, and safe space.
