Project description
Do you have a natural way of energizing and inspiring individuals to get involved with a project? Organizations across Albania are looking for your skills!
Since Albania first began transitioning to a democracy 30 years ago, local government units and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have struggled to facilitate sustainable community development. Persisting challenges are related to limited civic engagement, underutilization of local resources, as well as the need to improve governance, transparency, accountability, and a common work ethic. At the same time, local youth have entered a cycle of apathy, lack of hope, and pessimism.
As an Organizational and Youth Development Facilitator, you will support local government units, NGOs, and state institutions—such as national parks and tourism agencies—to engage community members in projects. Together, you will promote asset-based approaches to community development, civil society engagement, good governance, and networking among stakeholders as well as to youth empowerment and development.

Qualified candidates will have one or more of the following criteria:
