offer them a way to conduct their opportunities and prepare for them. My foundation offers a preparation for the basic elements that many

program to seize the opportunity.

Team

Founding Story

Dz youth opportunity as an idea emerged from a personal experience. I Myself as an active student , I find it challenging to involve myself in
different programs in Algiers, because there is no one unified simple platform that inform the students about the work of these organization, in the
same time, I was looking for opportunities abroad but I was not accepted in many of them because I did not meet with the requirements and those
that I could be part of , I knew about them late in time.
