Arab Youth Visionaries AYV

In 2018 ACCTS envisioned the establishment of the youth department, intending to promote the fundamental principles of citizenship and the vital role of Christians in Jordan and the Middle East. Upon organizing programs for young people in Amman, it was evident that various factors such as unemployment, economic challenges, political situations, and social media had contributed to the youth's confused and unclear mindsets. Therefore, in 2020, ACCTS youth developed a comprehensive strategy to empower them and help them achieve stability, happiness, success, and political participation. 

Mission

  • Reinforcing intellectual abilities to produce Arab youth thinkers.

  • Developing successful youth inward / outward (spirit, soul and body) to participate in building the community.
