The development of youth policy should become one of the priority tasks in any region. It is this social sector that can influence the reduction of drug addiction, alcoholism, and juvenile delinquency. One of the most effective methods to change the situation is to open your own youth center. Such an organization will help not only to engage and unite boys and girls, but also to solve their psychological problems, as well as to choose life priorities.

Instructions
Step 1
Start by conducting a youth survey. A center focused on this age must meet the needs of potential participants, otherwise it will be very difficult to attract them to this institution. Find out what young men and women are most interested in, how they would like to spend their free time, what can captivate them.
Step 2
Select the priority area of the youth center. Such an institution can have a sports, social or creative orientation, and can also combine several types of activities at once. Once you have enough participants, invite the teens to come up with fun activities for themselves.
Step 3
Come up with a clear and memorable concept for the center. Choose a name, slogan, create a corporate identity, describe in detail the institution's program. Teenagers process any information very quickly, so they should immediately understand what this youth center is.
Step 4
Find a room for the center. One should be large enough and have multiple rooms. Try to find a place where there would be a large hall, a sports field or a creative living room with a stage: teenagers can be united by active activities in a large group.
Step 5
Hire staff. These should be enthusiastic, active people who could lead the youth. Enthusiasm and willingness to help are essential in this case. The staff must have pronounced leadership qualities and have a liking for themselves. Also, hire a counselor, as teens often need help or counseling.
Step 6
Develop the links of the youth center with other organizations, as it should not exist in isolation. Make contacts with educational institutions, entertainment centers, and other similar institutions. Try to find connections abroad. So you can participate in major events, arrange massive trips around the country and abroad, and hold competitions.
