We start by listening to young people & young adults in local community. Their daily life, challenges & ideas guide our work.
ABOUT US
Youth for Innovative Development (Y4ID) is a youth-led community organisation based in Bulgaria. We create inclusive, calm, and supportive spaces where young people can meet, learn, and take part at their own pace.
Our work focuses on social inclusion, wellbeing, green skills, and active participation. We support young people and young adults who are transitioning into independent life, especially those who may feel excluded, unheard, or unsure of their next steps.
You can explore our areas of work and community activities or get in touch with us directly if you would like to spend time with us or learn more.

Feeling Supported
At first, I did not fully understand what youth work meant. Through Y4ID, I learned how support, care, and belonging can make a real difference for young people.
