• CAVAN was founded in 2017 as a non-governmental and non-profit national youth organization. It is a youth-led NGO, which means that all staff members are young enthusiastic people with a strong background in youth work and volunteer movement.
• Young people make up most of population in Azerbaijan and they are the driving force behind the country’s leap into the future. However, it is clear that in Azerbaijan, as elsewhere, young people face different challenges. Thus, CAVAN's main purpose is to help youth, those real and potential changemakers, with development, support interests of youth and provide their protection, as well as encourage their active participation in the socio-political, cultural and economic life.
