Our beginning
The association was founded in 2021 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Our members have experience in organizing local, regional, and national eco, sport and work camps for kids and youth. After very positive and rich experiences with each of them in small-scale projects, actions and camps we decided to go a step further and started to work together and become an canarian NGO wiling to work on local and international projects.

Our Values
Our programs transcend theoretical knowledge. We are committed to empowering young individuals to become active agents of change. Through personalized mentorship and hands-on experiences, we nurture a generation of advocates who are not only knowledgeable but deeply passionate about the sustainability of our planet.
In our relentless pursuit of a greener world, inclusivity stands at the forefront. We create spaces where diverse voices converge, fostering an environment of understanding, unity, and collaboration among communities of varied backgrounds. Through this inclusive approach, we believe we can collectively address environmental challenges.
With team members who have dedicated years to engaging with youth, we recognize the transformative potential of young leaders. Our projects provide platforms for them to take the lead, innovate, and effect tangible environmental impact. We believe that the energy and creativity of young minds are catalysts for positive change.
Collaboration is at the heart of our approach. We actively seek partnerships with governmental bodies, NGOs, and stakeholders in the environmental sector. Together, we endeavor to transcend borders, working towards policies that ensure a harmonized and effective approach to environmental conservation.
