Aida Youth Center is located in Aida Refugee Camp, an area north of the West Bank city of Bethlehem. It was founded in 1968 with the main purpose of serving the local community – especially its children and youth. Today it represents a recreational hub that aims to improve living conditions for camp residents.
Our mission is to empower the youth to take a leading and creative role to serve the local community. We believe in holding the utmost values of responsibility and transparency, and that with everyone’s participation we can make creative, positive changes. You can read more here.
It finds a way to give instead of demanding the right to take. We see others and help them along a journey of courage, confidence and joy.
It gives the strenght to transform a challenge into an opportunity. We inspire our community, and ensure supportive environments.
It is the ambition to empower our youth and prepare them for social responsibility. Together, we move towards individual and social change.
It is the right to be protected from violence, exploitation and abuse. We arrange safe spaces for children to play, learn and receive support.
