YOUTH-LEAP is an innovative European initiative designed to bridge the gap between young people and local decision-makers. Through peer mentoring, capacity-building workshops, and active civic engagement, the project equips youth with essential leadership skills, advocacy tools, and policy-making awareness. By transforming passive participation into active citizenship, YOUTH-LEAP enables young individuals to shape the future of their local communities and drive meaningful social change.
