We help young people prepare for the future

"The association gave me great experiences, more self-confidence and a clearer picture of what I would like to do. Whenever I feel unsure, I think back to that volunteering year, and I know I will be able to solve it."

"For me KÖZ-Pont means not only growth but also a second family, where we always support and help each other. In the association we learned that even at a young age one can take responsibility, think independently and create value in real projects. Yet the greatest value is the community we build together: that we stand up for each other, work together for our goals, and believe that young people truly have the power to bring about change. KÖZ-Pont is a place where one gains not only experience but humanity and lifelong relationships."

As the mother of a teenage boy, I feel how much it matters what kind of environment a young person gets attention, feedback and support in. KÖZ-Pont gives exactly that: a safe space and real connection for young people. Their work focuses on self-knowledge, emotional awareness, mental health, belonging to a community and creating opportunities – everything that is greatly needed (not only) in adolescence.

"The key to successful cooperation is continuous, open dialogue and feedback based on regular needs assessment and event evaluation. KÖZ-Pont's professionals do not offer ready-made, template solutions but shape our joint programmes by responding reflectively to the current needs of students and teachers. The countless successful projects, events and youth initiatives of recent years are all the fruit of shared thinking. The Medgyessy school community wholeheartedly recommends KÖZ-Pont Youth Association to all education and youth professionals who are looking for a committed and professional partner."

In working together with KÖZ-Pont I got to know a very inspiring team who are open to new perspectives and consciously look for opportunities to grow. They think in a structured way and continuously develop their services and collaborations to make an even greater impact on young people's lives. For me this conscious building and commitment to young people is what makes their work truly credible. It is a pleasure to work with such organisations in PwC's Civil Mentoring Programme.
