Association AGIR Pour Le Développement et l'Epanouissement de la Jeunesse - Mchedallah - Bouira

AGIR pour le Développement & l`Epanouissement de la Jeunesse (ADEJ) is an innovative regional youth nonprofit organization that equips young people with knowledge and skills which enable them to directly get involved in improving their communities. AGIR employs a ‘leveraged impact’ model. We believe that young people have enormous untapped potential and can be very effective in instigating positive change in their communities. Our work involves training and supporting young people so that they are empowered to then initiate positive community development projects and train their peers on vital development issues. AGIR is run by young people for young people by means of a democratic structure. Our members mainly work on a voluntary basis. There is no limit age to participate in our activities, but the majority of participants are under the age of 35. It is young people who decide about activities of the organization, define the strategies and implement the action plans, run the organization and ultimately evaluate it. It is important to note that most young people in AGIR are actively involved in other aspects of civil society, frequently establishing links between the member Organizations and the local, regional or sometimes national institutions, in addition to other organizations.
