Palestinian Youth Union

The Palestinian Youth Union (PYU) "is a Palestinian Non-Governmental, Non-Profit Youth Organization that was founded in 1992. The Union was founded by a group of young men and women from the local communities who were active in the Voluntary Work Committees during the Occupation in the late Seventies up until the first Intifada. The establishment of the Union was a response to the urgent need of Palestinian Youth to concentrate their potentials and efforts in the reconstruction process after the signing of the Peace Agreement."
