Services, Methods & Strategies of the Organization
YC "Volunteer" acting on the basis of its mission has two main areas of activity:
1. Promotion of healthy lifestyles and preventive measures regarding the negative environmental forces (violence, narcotic use, alcoholism, homelessness, etc.) in the youth environment.
2. Assistance to the promotion of and interest in democratic processes among Ukrainian youth.
YC "Volunteer" also traditionally takes part in city, regional, national and global events (actions, campaigns, etc.) which coincide with activity of the organization (for example: National Youth Day, the Day of the Protection of Children, World Day of the Struggle Against the Circulation of Harmful Drugs, etc.).
The primary goal of our organization is fulfilling the needs of the community or communities we serve. Therefore, the first step in all of our projects is fulfilling a needs analysis report.
Once a need has been specified and funding mechanisms are solidified, our organization carefully plans, conducts, reports and evaluates project activity from the moment of inception, using the latest project management, risk analysis, program evaluation and sustainability techniques.
Planning and implementation is rendered through thorough consultation among partner organizations, state organizations, and even private enterprise, all the while adhering strictly to contracts and stipulations by funding organizations. All reporting and evaluation practices are held to the highest of standards.
