Type: article
Abstract: The article examines the activities of a non-governmental organization since 2014 in the direction of social and pedagogical support for children and youth of IDPs and children and young people who remain in the conflict zone.The purpose of the article is to describe the socio-pedagogical and social assistance provided by YMCA Ukraine’s children and young people to IDPs and those affected by the conflict.The YMCA of Ukraine in the process of integrating displaced children and young people into local territorial communities sought various opportunities to support them at all levels. Creating an open and safe space has inspired children and young people, their families, to social change and adaptation. The best social programs and full integration into the territorial communities were jointly pursued. Even in the western regions, the anti-terrorist operation was rehabilitated.As a result, it can be said that the activities facilitated the integration efforts of the NGO volunteers.Children and young people, their families, all who wanted to be members of the organization were able to integrate into the territorial communities of their cities.Based on the activity of the organization, it can be seen that 2014–2015 socio-pedagogical support had mostly socio-psychological and informational component, and further facilitated adaptiveintegration processes. Accordingly, today, deep integration has blurred the boundaries between displaced persons and the local population. Volunteer support for children and young IDPs encourages a better life and confidence in friendly support. It creates an atmosphere of safe space and is interested in finding interesting leisure.
