The Unite Lebanon Youth Project (ULYP) is a nonprofit organization founded to break down the barriers that exist among the Lebanese host community and its refugee populations. The ULYP Youth Academy was established to address the underlying causes of animosity and sectarianism that continue to sustain civil conflict and political instability within Lebanon. Focusing on the issues of youth disengagement and social inequality, ULYP plays an active role in instilling the values of respect, citizenship, collaboration and cooperation in Lebanon's often conflicted communities. By inspiring democratic values, free expression, peace, equality and human rights principles, we aim to return the children, women, and youth to their communities empowered and capable of being positive agents of change. ULYP contributes to the effort of ending the marginalization of the underprivileged youth living in Lebanon, both in the host communities as well as the refugee populations, by providing access to educational and recreational activities and opportunities to meet, understand, and accept each other.
