Young leaders enterpreneurs is a newly established association located in the capital of tunisia , founded by young activists from tunis , jendouba and kasserine . This association aims to empower youth in the field of leadership and entrepreneurship in dismissed regions forgotten in the process of development by previous policies . Thanks to arranging panels , summits, and events that integrate youth in the democracy transition focusing on making them familiar with the concepts of citizenship and how to master the art of communication for the recreational of a harmony and auto-adaption of the different points of view in the settlement of a democratic atmosphere. The other major goal is to motivate the most gifted powerful young leaders in Tunisia to reinforce their skills and potentials through intensive workshops and exhibitions in science ,business and ventures. Added to that, we work within the vision of “fair welfare “ that tends to create a better standard of life based on offering well-targeted projects that try not only to ameliorate the situations and life conditions of many needy people but also to make them learn how to rely on themselves and rebuild their lives and social conditions by supporting their initiatives ,to make them contribute to construct their homes ,schools and their primary needs . Moreover, it is true that we have many marginalized regions that lack the basic infrastructures that can not have the high standards to attract capital for investments to decrease the amount of unemployment ;yet beauty is incarnated there due to the existing astonishing landscapes ,monuments ,mountains and national parks but not appreciated or not used for the benefit of the residents neither to boost the economy of the post-revolutionary Tunisia .Therefore, comes our goal related to the “New tourism which creates new spots to discover in order to animate these isolated regions yet beautiful in terms of tourism instead of neglecting those natural resources by engaging associations that reside there ,volunteers and international clubs and agencies to organize camping, journeys and national days for appreciating nature,animals threatened of extinction in parks ,
Mainly,the association is founded by group of volunteers who had a deep experience in the civil society as social entrepreneurs,trainers and volunteers.
we have launched on 2012 the New egenration initiative which trained 60 hig school students coming from different regions on how to accept each other when they will attend universities .Actually this project was selected as a success story in Poalnd for its peace building characteristics .

We are working with the American embassy and the Amideast on a program called :American corner leadership club where we train 30 youth per year n how to be leaders and be admitted to international exchange programs through peer to peer coaching and social ectivism.
As a youth led organization we will make sure to be open for cooperation within the network and share our mangerial experience as we are always part of international experiences .We will work to maintain the unity of the network by looking for partnerships and networking for the sake of making a change .As we believe that dialogue is the seed of success ,so we are ready to arrange round tables discussions to always support members of this body in their projects whether with volunteers or consultancy .Eventually ,sharing is caring so as we have a good netowking with donors and technical assitants serving organizations ,we will share such opportunities and contacts
it is a strong family to be within it in order to value our work and be open to other different experiences .Educationally, we need to keep current with all developments in the scope of our work. Learning new models and methods .ALF provides many opportunities for networking and interaction with your fellow professionals.
