Since 2010, the Sempre a Frente Foundation has been accompanying children, young people, and adults from across the province as they grow up, providing them with support. We help in crises, guide people through difficulties, and provide professional mental health support to anyone who needs it. We develop social skills, provide a sense of security and the opportunity to realize ideas, exercise agency, and take the first steps into adulthood and parenthood. We inspire civic action and provide space for shared experiences. During this time, our activities have resulted in many important initiatives:

• We opened the only Child Advocacy Center in Lublin, which for three years has been providing interdisciplinary support for children who have experienced violence under one roof.

• We have begun to change the landscape of support for young people locally and nationally by running the Youth Information and Development Center in Lublin and establishing the National Coalition for Youth Work.

• We have become part of extremely important changes in Lublin, the country, and Europe: coordinating the nationwide campaign “Childhood without Violence” for the province, joining the program of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the EU, and initiating and implementing the European Youth Capital Lublin 2023!

• We have built strong partnerships for and with young people, providing access to youth information through the Eurodesk network, to international exchanges and training through the Erasmus+ program, and to conferences such as the Cross-Border Cooperation Congress

....and these are just a few examples of our journey together!

Together, we create a space where daily development, safety, activity, and support become real experiences. Together, we provide support to thousands of children and young people and hundreds of parents, guardians, and teachers every year!
