‘Help to Fit’ – it is a multicultural children’s and youth day center operating since 2009, where children of Roma, Lithuanian, Russian, Polish and other nationalities meet every day. It is a non-governmental, non-profit organization based on the principles of democracy, justice, solidarity, equality, citizenship and volunteerism, whose goal is the reduction of social exclusion, the integration of vulnerable groups, and the promotion of tolerance through education, non-formal and inclusive education.
Since the year 2019, the organization has been operating as an Open Youth Space, where meaningful employment of young people is encouraged. All ‘Help to fit’ activities are focused on education, social skills training, community building, respect for every visitor, building trust, working with families, breaking down stereotypes, public education.
“Help to Fit” is also engaged in advocacy – the organization constantly cooperates with state institutions, represents the rights of Roma and other families experiencing social exclusion, and educates the public by breaking stereotypes.
