Youth Center "Perspektiva" highest decision maker is the Board of the organization, which appoints the Executive Director, whom is in charge of leading the organization. Perspektiva is an organization who works project based, due to lack of sustainable funding in order to support a full time staff. Although currently there are 6 people who are engaged on a project based approach throughout the year. Main sources of funding are Council of Europe, European Commission or sub-granting schemes in Albania from bigger organizations. For more formation please check our organization CV where you may find all our projects.

We strongly believe that ALF Network offers a unique opportunity to expand our network of organization and partners on international level as well as learn and share best practices amongst each other
