Today, 16 December, is a special day for us – the “Laiks Jauniešiem” association is celebrating its 6th anniversary! 🎉 🎂

It was on 16 December 2019 that we were registered with the Latvian Register of Enterprises, and ever since then, this journey has been all about people. About real voices, real stories and real emotions. 💛

These years haven’t just been about events, projects and ‘ticks’ on a checklist.

They’ve been about moments that stay with us. ✨

🔸 about the excitement before taking that first step and the pride that follows;

🔸 about conversations that come at just the right time;

🔸 about a team that sticks together even when exhaustion weighs them down;

🔸 about young people who encourage other young people – and sometimes even adults.

And today, I want to say one big, warm and completely genuine thing: THANK YOU. 🥰

💛 Thank you to our young people – for your trust, your courage and for letting us be by your side;

😎 Thank you to the young people’s parents – for your care, guidance and willingness to work with us;

🤝 Thank you to our volunteers – for the time, energy and heart you put into things that are not a duty, but a choice;

🌟 Thank you to our supporters, partners and donors – for believing that young people’s ideas and needs matter;

🫶 Thank you to our team – for the work that often goes on behind the scenes, but whose results are always felt.

If you’ve ever been with us – at an event, in a conversation, with an idea, through your support or encouragement – then this celebration is for you too. 🎈

We really do read them. And we really do feel them. 🙌 💬

With gratitude and a festive spirit,

Time for Youth 💛 ✨
