Youth is the period when people become able to use their personal potential through their family life, academic and social achievements. Therefore, at both individual and societal level, youth energy is literally a wealth. This wealth, like all valuable resources, can only be utilized in the way it deserves by making good use of needs, problems and potentials. Therefore, directing the energy of our young population, which is the most important deficiency of almost all developed countries today and our strongest resource, and guiding the future of our society should be the most important duty of all bodies working with young people.
Our center, which was founded on this awareness, strives to combine the energy of youth with the guidance of experience and wisdom; in this way, it tries to ensure that this national treasure is properly utilized by developing solutions to the problems faced by young people and carrying out studies that will enable their potential to be realized. In the research and search for solutions to today's needs and problems, we also benefit from the guidance of the cultural heritage and values offered to us by the ancient Anatolian tradition.
Cooperation with different power centers of the society such as civil society, local government units and state institutions that have goals related to the young population is one of our priorities in the studies carried out and to be carried out in our center, which has a multidisciplinary approach. I have no doubt that all kinds of information and projects that will emerge with this understanding will guide the steps that Turkey, one of the leading countries of the future, will take with its young population, and that our country will lead the whole world with the different approaches it will develop.
