Not every young person gets the same opportunities. With a monthly gift, you help LEJO stand beside young people at camp, at school, in their free time, and in places where they can be themselves.
What your contribution does
Enough to let one young person play sports for a full season. Or go to summer camp for a week. Or cover a year of bus fares that makes school reachable.
Small things, big differences: that is what LEJO's solidarity fund stands for.

In Beeld
In the heart of Ghent, there is a place where young people can walk in for breathing room, connection, and new energy. Workshops and creative activities give them space to experiment, discover talents, and get moving again.
View the story →18, and then?
LEJO went on camp with young people turning 18 and young adults who had already crossed that threshold. We listened to their stories about the move from youth care into adulthood and made a documentary together.

What sets LEJO apart
LEJO believes in learning through experience: not from a classroom bench, but through real situations, relationships, and challenges. Learning through experience has shaped everything we do for 45 years.
The young person at the center
Everything starts from the young person. At their own pace, with their own choices: LEJO provides structure while the young person keeps the wheel.
Starting from strengths
Not from deficits, but from possibilities in education, free time, and wellbeing.
Since 1981
45 years with and for young people who get fewer opportunities, in Ghent and far beyond.
Whether you give a little or a lot each month, your support helps young people move forward: to school, to camp, to a place where they can be themselves.
