Mission

We’re working to develop the services offered by the MAYZ from the perspective of a place that belongs to young people and where it is possible to take charge, learn, organize and have fun, and this, through the following 7 objectives:

  • Learn about community life.
  • Learn about democracy and its mechanisms.
  • Promote care and autonomy among young people, starting with their leisure time.
  • Allow an improvement in the ability of young people to have better personal relationships with those around them.
  • Allow young people to be better equipped to direct their lives, what we call prevention.
  • Encourage the participation of young people in their community.
  • Defend and promote the rights of young people.
