Additional Comments |
-
AFSC also works to increase the civic engagement of young people
and other decision-makers (government, civil society, the
private sector) to create positive change on many levels. We are
not, however, a donor organisation in the sense of offering
regular grants to applicants
-
AFSC supports and promotes youth development work through our
various programmes and initiatives but does not regularly
provide grants |
