YMCA Ukraine and Junior Achievement Ukraine report new youth cohorts enrolled across programme sites in Kyiv, Lviv, and Kharkiv. The expansion grows the peer-support networks that sit alongside PACE learning sessions, so young people have a named mentor beyond the workshop room.
What the networks provide
Peer mentors host regular check-ins, signpost local services, and help participants practise the skills introduced in the curriculum. Delivery teams are using the same safeguarding and supervision standards agreed at consortium level, adapted to each city’s operating conditions.
Further cohorts will open as Train-the-Trainer graduates complete accreditation. Updates from the three cities will be shared at the Chișinău learning exchange.
