Umbrella is a leading Georgian youth value-based organization with the aim to educate, motivate and activate young people aged 13-30 in Georgia and beyond, in order to be empowered and develop the communities that are coming from.
We support the young people’s progress by creating educational initiatives and developing their competence in the field of civil society, environment, human rights and democracy.
To reach the goal we adopted the strategy of setting up youth development spaces to attract youth and implement various youth-led activities at local, national and international levels. Currently, we have three youth centers in different regions of Georgia.
Since its establishment in 2016, hundreds of our members and beneficiaries have participated in many local, national and international youth work-related events, we have run dozens of projects at the local level and became a partner in the European project with our international partner youth organization. To ensure a real impact we work on local, national and international levels, something that brings innovation and problem-solving youth work results.
Umbrella currently is a member of the following international or European youth networks – MIJARC Europe, YEE, Rural Youth Europe, GYBN, IYNF, ECYC, FIMCAP and DYPALL.
We are collaborating with various international and local donor organizations, including the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe, the European Commission within Erasmus+ and ESC program, EVZ supported by the German Foreign Ministry via the Meet-Up program etc.
