Our Mission

Family Center "You Too" is a non-governmental organization established in 2018 in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine (EDRPOU 42552500). Our mission is to create a safe, nurturing environment where vulnerable children and families can heal, grow, and thrive despite the challenges of conflict and displacement.

We believe every child deserves access to education, creative expression, and psychological support. Through our six core programs, we serve over 150 children annually, providing everything from robotics education to art therapy and psychosocial support. Our dedicated team of over 20 volunteers works tirelessly to bring hope and opportunity to those who need it most.

Stories of Impact

When we were displaced from our home near the front line, my children were terrified and withdrawn. The programs at Family Center You Too gave them a safe place to play, learn, and heal. Now my daughter smiles again and my son has found passion in robotics. This center is our second family.

Oksana Mother of two

I never thought I could build a real robot. At the Robotics Academy, I learned programming and engineering. My team even won a regional competition! The teachers believe in us and push us to dream bigger. I want to become an engineer and help rebuild Ukraine one day.

What Viacheslav and his team have built is remarkable. The Family Center has become a cornerstone of our community, providing not just programs but genuine hope. The children's transformation is visible — from fear to confidence, from isolation to belonging. This work changes lives.
