General Information
Our organization is composed of five full-time workers of which three are members of the Board. In total we are more than fifteen people who are linked to the organization.The board is composed of a president, a secretary and a treasurer. We also have a project manager and an institutional representative. Currently our annual budget is around € 40,000 - € 50,000, of which 80% comes from state/local grants and European funds, especially from the Erasmus + program. Within the Erasmus + program we are focused on the non-formal education section. Our main activities are focused on youth exchanges and training for youth workers based on giving voice and power of influence to young people. Our network of collaborators extends from other non-profit organizations within the EU and with other entities in Africa and Asia, to collaboration with the regional and state government of Spain.
Mission and Objectives

Our main objective is to create a friendly environment and optimal conditions for young people development and self-realization. We aspire to become a platform to foster youth participation in civic society at local. To broaden their horizons and help them in their self-development, allowing them to participate in national and international youth projects, and also encourage them to organize such projects by themselves.
We try to fulfill our objectives carrying out and promoting youngsters participation in transnational projects. Especially focusing on the topics of healthy lifestyle, culture, sport, entrepreneurship, social inclusion and structured dialogue.

Main Projects / Activities

Among the type activities we develop and promote from our organization: Information campaigns, workshops, counseling and European framed projects design. On the other hand, we welcome volunteers from all over Europe and even international volunteers
Additionally, we cooperate with national and foreign organizations as well as guvernamental institutions such as the City Council of Cartagena, Espacio Joven Cartagena Eurodesk multiplier point or Europe Direct Region of Murcia.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We believe that we can enrich the network given our international orientation based on the empowerment of young people through the social movement.
On the other hand, our activities and objectives are focused on young people with fewer opportunities (geographical and social obstacles) which are a fundamental pillar for the development of an equitable society. Our cooperation at regional and state level is growing a lot since our recent creation, so we believe that we can contribute many innovative ideas to the network.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We feel identified with the objectives and values of the network, which we know through partners that have been part of it for some years now as well as its visibility in multiple events at an international level.
We have the desire and enthusiasm to be part of a network capable of influencing political decisions globally with the aim of having a fairer world. We feel that we should be part of ALF.
Finally, this network offers us a multiplier effect of our activities that we believe is the best for the society in which we live.
