What we do

We go where young people are.

From a child who needs help returning to school to a church leader building a youth ministry, our work responds to real needs with relationships that last.

01

Care that stays.

Supporting vulnerable young people

Through after-school care, tutoring, meals, mentoring, family support and Bible learning, we help children facing poverty and exclusion build safer, stronger futures.

  • Break the Cycle
  • Literacy, meals and mentoring
  • Roma family support
02

Meeting students where they are.

High school & student ministry

Youth nights, sports, camps, skills training and student gatherings create safe spaces for honest questions, meaningful friendships and faith.

  • Leadership conferences
  • Coaching and peer learning

Our next step · A vision seeking partners

The Anchor: a home for the mission.

We envision a centrally located drop-in center in Tirana where young people can come every day after school or university to find belonging, study support, creative activities, mentoring and a clear pathway to explore faith.

Beyond daily youth activities, The Anchor will serve as YFC Albania’s central hub for training emerging youth leaders, supporting local churches and multiplying ministry across the country.
