OUR POLICIES

At the Young Volunteers Association, we conduct all our activities with a rights-based, transparent, safe, and sustainable approach. In our work, we not only focus on producing projects but also clearly demonstrate how we work, which principles we adhere to, and which standards we implement. The policy documents we have developed provide a guiding framework for everyone, from our volunteers to project partners, and from public institutions to young participants.

Our Approach

  • We operate in a rights-based manner
  • We do not discriminate
  • We act transparently and accountably
  • We prioritize children's safety
  • We strengthen volunteering
  • We act with environmental responsibility

Our Policy Areas

Child Protection Policy

Ensuring the physical, psychological, and social safety of children is our top priority. The best interests of children guide all our activities.

Rights-Based Approach Policy

We see children and young people as rights holders, not as recipients of aid. All our work is shaped with this perspective.

Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct

We establish clear behavioral standards based on honesty, impartiality, and respect for all our stakeholders.

Anti-Corruption and Transparency Policy

The proper use of resources, transparent processes, and accountability are our fundamental principles. We adopt a zero-tolerance approach to corruption.

Data Protection and Privacy Policy

We protect personal data in accordance with KVKK and GDPR standards, showing the highest sensitivity for data related to children.

Volunteering and Participation Policy

We see volunteering not only as a contribution but also as a learning and development process. We create a participatory and inclusive structure.

Content, Publication, and Communication Policy

We produce all our content with respect for human rights, accuracy, reliability, and ethical communication principles.

Gender Equality Policy

We emphasize equal representation of women and men and apply a balanced and inclusive approach in our activities and content.

Environmental Protection and Sustainability Policy

We prioritize recycling, sustainability, and eco-friendly practices in our activities, adopting a climate-conscious approach.

Why These Policies Are Important?

  • Volunteers know what to pay attention to
  • Participants are placed in a safe environment
  • Partner institutions meet at a common standard
  • All processes become transparent and traceable
