The National Youth Aid Awards are awarded once every two years to promising initiatives within youth care. The jury prize is no less than 12,000 euros.

It functions!

The program FaceIT for young people was developed by the Erasmus MC-Sophia Children's Hospital in Rotterdam and its effectiveness is still being scientifically investigated. The first results are very positive: it works! It makes young people stronger.
