About the organization
Udruga Mladih Peteranec exists to make civic life accessible to young people. We are a registered non-profit voluntary organization in the Republic of Malta, governed by an unpaid executive board and delivered by volunteers who live in the communities we serve.
Our mission is to advocate for youth empowerment, facilitate cultural and educational exchange, and provide accessible, non-profit community programs that nurture personal growth, civic responsibility, and social solidarity.
In practice this means keeping the door open: no fees, no selection procedures, and no expectation that a young person already knows how institutions work before they are welcome to learn.
Our vision is an inclusive, vibrant society where young people are equipped with the knowledge, empathy, and leadership skills necessary to drive positive change in their communities and beyond.
We work toward a Malta where a nineteen-year-old can convene a neighbourhood meeting, write a funding request, and represent their peers in front of a public body with confidence.
Core organizational values
Believing in the limitless potential of educated and engaged youth.
We treat education as the most durable form of support we can offer. Instead of one-off charity, we invest in skills, confidence and mentorship that a young person carries with them for life.
Welcoming individuals from all backgrounds to participate in our civic initiatives.
Nationality, faith, language, income and ability are never conditions of participation. Our sessions are held in accessible public venues and facilitated bilingually wherever our volunteers make that possible.
Operating with absolute administrative and financial clarity under our official non-profit registration (ID: 10139364133).
Our accounts, activity records and board minutes are maintained for review by members, funders and the competent Maltese authorities. No member, officer or volunteer receives a share of income.
Why choose us / why support us
Our legal identity is verifiable, our registered office is a real physical address in Iż-Żurrieq, and our correspondence runs through the official organizational email on our own domain.
Programs are designed and delivered by the young people who take part in them, supported by volunteer mentors rather than paid campaign staff.
We deliberately mix long-standing local families with newly arrived residents, because integration happens through shared work, not through separate services.
Every euro received is allocated to venue costs, materials, accessibility support and programme delivery. Nothing is distributed as profit or private benefit.
Governance & leadership
Udruga Mladih Peteranec is governed by a voluntary executive board elected by the general assembly of members. Board members — including the President, Secretary and Treasurer — serve without any salary, honorarium, dividend or other form of remuneration. Their mandate is fixed in duration and renewable only by a vote of the membership.
The organization operates strictly on a not-for-profit basis. No part of our income, surplus or assets may be distributed, directly or indirectly, to members, officers, volunteers or related parties. Any surplus remaining at the end of a financial period is carried forward and reinvested exclusively into educational, cultural and volunteer programming that serves the public benefit.
We comply fully with the local regulations applicable to voluntary organizations in Malta, including requirements relating to lawful non-profit purpose, proper administration, record-keeping, annual reporting of activities and accounts, safeguarding of minors and vulnerable participants, and lawful use of donated or granted funds.
