The main target group of the organization are children (8-12 years), youngsters (13-18 years) and young adults (18-25 years), but that does not exclude other age categories and there are several projects organised by the organization that are suitable for everybody.
As everybody in the organization is encouraged to implement his/her own ideas, projects can be very different from each other, for example activities for young mothers and small children (theatre played by mothers to children), “Young drivers training” (theoretical and practical lessons for getting bicycle driving license at the age of 12) or cultural heritage activities (to bring to life Latvian traditions). But what is more important all activities organised by and to youngsters are based on non-formal education and peer-to-peer education and young members starting as learners become teachers.
