Desmos for Youth – North Evia

From our very first visits to the fire-affected areas of Northern Evia, we identified a widespread concern about youth employment and retention, as well as the need to strengthen local civil society organizations. In 2022, drawing on our experience from the nationwide “Desmos for Youth” program and aiming to support job placements for young people within socially impactful organizations, Desmos — with the exclusive support of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) under the “North Evia Reconstruction Program” — designed and implemented the special edition “Desmos for Youth – North Evia.”

The program had two main goals: To create new job opportunities primarily for young adults residing in the region and to empower local civil society organizations and associations, in an area with limited activity in this sector, by fostering collaboration, networking, and the development of new community projects.

The program concluded in May 2024, having successfully funded 8 job placements across 8 Civil Society Organizations operating in Northern Evia for a duration of 16 months.
