To support Moldovan civil and youth activists, initiatives, and social entrepreneurs.
Our goal is to provide educational, material, and financial support in order to present opportunities for young Moldovans to build their life skills and develop their communities.
Local communities understand their own needs and aspirations best. Moldovans must be the leaders, decision-makers, and problem-solvers shaping their communities’ futures. We have a vast network of action-oriented community members, in-country volunteers, Returned Peace Corps Volunteers, and Friends of Moldova members to assist our Moldovan partners and grantees. The contributions of our members and other donors empower local community members to take direct action to find innovative and sustainable solutions for their communities.
