Dr. Joseph P. Kazickas and Alexandra Kazickas had a visionary mission to ensure a better future for youth. Therefore, empowerment of young people plays an important role in the Kazickas Family Foundation activities.
On 24 January we held a networking event at the Kazickas family residence to connect people who work in youth empowerment. We invited different organizations that continuously work to offer new career and life opportunities for young people: Youth Can, Uncommon.lt, Bring Together Lithuania, and the grantees of the Foundation — an international exchange program ASSIST, the Alternative Training Centre for Youth of Vilnius Archdiocese Caritas, Vocational School “Sodžiaus meistrai”, St. John’s Children, Raguvėlė Day Center, Vilnius Social Club, MO Museum, and Lentvaris Day Center.
