The Youth Community Center

In order to broaden the reach of its actions for the elimination of illiteracy, professional training, and raising awareness on several health, gender, and environment problems, the RMF built a youth community center in 2001 for social development.

Located in Mejdlaya and open to everyone, it serves the young men and women of the impoverished suburban area of Bab el Tebbaneh, Tripoli and the underprivileged villages of Akkar and Zgharta.

The center houses a fully equipped conference center and several training rooms in which it hosts student clubs, environmental and human rights clubs, training of trainers sessions, and sports programs and tournaments.

The RMF launched the environment clubs in 2000 and since then they have been working with schools in the area to introduce the concepts of environmental protection. The clubs hold extra-curricular activities including exhibits, tourist trips, waste- collection days, and education on recycling.
