Dear TOKA Supporters,
This quarter has been a celebration of youth leadership and community impact - from Kosovo’s villages to European capitals - and every milestone has been possible because of you.
From Skenderaj to Brussels, young changemakers rolled up their sleeves to clean neighborhoods, revitalize libraries, volunteer in family businesses, and champion education. Their energy shows the incredible potential of our youth when given the chance to lead.
A defining moment of this quarter was TOKA’s 10th Anniversary Gala, where over 200 friends, supporters, and national leaders - including Kosovo’s Prime Minister - came together to celebrate a decade of youth-powered change. Together, we raised funds for the Lulëzojnë Scholarship, supporting marginalized students in their pursuit of higher education, in true TOKA style!
For the first time, we expanded the Solidarity Action Day (SAD) to the Diaspora, engaging Albanian youth in London and Brussels to reconnect with their roots and contribute to a cause bigger than themselves.
Back home, 196 youth volunteers wrapped up grassroots projects through our Solidarity Clubs, while we launched the Volunteer of the Year Awards to recognize outstanding community contributions. Our Service-Learning projects continued to grow with new initiatives in environmental protection and vision health, alongside expanded advocacy for integrating civic education and climate learning in national policies.
With exciting initiatives ahead - from local Leadership Camps and International Peacebuilding Camps to expanding career orientation programs with Roma, Ashkali, and Egyptian youth - we are building momentum for an even greater impact.
Your belief in youth, equity, and action fuels these stories and the future of thousands of changemakers. Thank you for being at the heart of this journey.
With gratitude and determination,
The TOKA Team
