A new chapter in Humanitarian Action
After two years of foundational work, the international humanitarian organization Youth of the Future (YOTF) is officially launching its full operations. Founded in December 2022 in Stavanger, Norway, YOTF is committed to supporting children, youth, and families facing crisis, poverty, and displacement — wherever the need is greatest.
Over the past year, YOTF has established international logistics systems, built a volunteer network, and secured operational approval from financial and government institutions. Now fully equipped and registered, the organization is stepping forward to offer urgent, life-affirming support in areas of humanitarian need.
“This is the moment we’ve been working toward,”
said Tom Danny Pedersen, CEO and Executive Project Manager at YOTF.
“From day one, our mission has been clear — to stand beside children and families who have lost safety, dignity, and stability. We’re here to bring hope and humanity back into lives affected by conflict, displacement, and poverty.”
Our first focus areas
YOTF’s current programs are focused on several urgent humanitarian priorities:
Ukraine & Gaza – Emergency clothing and essentials distribution for families and children in active crisis zones.
Norway & Spain – Local relief programs for struggling families, volunteer coordination, and supply drives.
Global Advocacy – Expanding awareness and building international partnerships for children’s rights and family dignity.
“We’ve built this from the ground up — with family, friends, and dedicated colleagues,” said Pedersen.
“It’s more than an organization; it’s a movement of compassion. We’re ready to serve those who need us most.”

Whether you’re an individual, company, or community group — there’s a role for you in this mission. YOTF is now welcoming:
- Volunteers for local or remote support
- Donors to fund direct aid and supplies
- Partners to help expand reach and logistics
