Velos Youth

Velos Youth is a non-profit organization founded in 2017 to support children and young people on the move, so they can restart and rebuild their lives. Our work centers around a safe space in central Athens for young people aged 16 to 30, offering a range of services as well as support in accessing services provided by partner organizations. We work with young people to help them reimagine their futures and take the next steps toward achieving their goals and aspirations. We are a response to the constantly evolving needs of newly arrived young people in urban Athens and a place where they can come together as people – not profiles – to understand and experience both diversity and unity.
