- · Help Moroccan youth, aged 14-25, build and develop skills to improve their potential through innovative science (especially environmental and health awareness), technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) programs, as well as through entrepreneurship programs and vocational training.
- · Focus on climate crisis, energy security and a healthy planet.
- · Encourage Moroccan youth to participate in civic life through social entrepreneurship, volunteerism, and community engagement.
