Shabab PRO Program

Technology and Leadership Initiative

A virtual youth program designed to foster interaction, communication, and capacity-building among Syrian youth. It encompasses thousands of university students and graduates residing in Syria, aged 18 to 39. The program aims to enhance members' abilities in leadership, civic, and comprehensive technical fields, ultimately strengthening their role in community-building and laying the foundation for the future of Syria.  

With the increasingly extreme exclusion of national and ethnic identities, the Shabab PRO program aims to provide a virtual homeland for Syrian youth in all conflict zones, combining knowledge, academic education, and communication (through cross-border networks and affiliations) to confront the exclusion and isolation of young people, strengthen peace and social cohesion, and contribute to building trust, understanding, idea exchange, and dialogue between different groups. It also addresses common challenges and creates a flexible environment that brings about permanent positive change and a more secure future.
