Where we work
Local presence. Global responsibility. Our work is guided not by borders, but by the needs of people. From urgent humanitarian crises to ongoing local support, we’re committed to showing up where we’re needed most — with dignity, action, and care.
From local stations to global aid
Local roots, lasting impact.
Our physical presence begins in the communities we call home. From our stations in Stavanger and Orihuela Costa, we coordinate local relief efforts, mobilize volunteers, and provide essential supplies to families facing hardship.

Global purpose
YOTF is grounded in local action, but guided by a global purpose. Wherever children and families face displacement, poverty, or crisis — we respond with dignity-driven support. From on-the-ground hubs in Norway and Spain to active emergency efforts across the globe, our reach is growing with the need.
Global priorities
We go where the need is greatest — especially in regions affected by war, poverty, and displacement. While our presence is still growing, our mission is clear: to serve children and families in crisis with speed, dignity, and compassion. We are actively working on the ground to deliver urgent aid, essential supplies, and community support in key locations.
