Youth of Osh Public Association

The Youth of Osh Public Organisation was established in 2008 to help develop young people as active citizens in Kyrgyzstan, by strengthening their capacities and promoting their interests in the community.

It implements activities in several areas:

• Developing youth leadership and ideas of community.
• Educating youth volunteer clubs at 24 secondary schools in Osh and Jalalabad provinces to support the self-development of secondary school students.
• Supporting youth initiatives directed towards solving social issues in the community and conducting training on a Leadership School Program to improve the capacity of young leaders.

One of the organisations main aims is to foster an approach based on volunteers. To this end, it has created regional and international Volunteer Exchange Programmes, as well as annual summer Volunteer Works Camps. These aim to bring young people together to help solve social issues in their communities.
