The project Flying to Tomorrow supports young people's ideas based on the principles of social good and solidarity.

The project Flying to Tomorrow aims to contribute to both the personal development of young individuals and to transform their energy into social good, by helping young people travel to different cities so as to realize their projects based on the concepts of social good and solidarity.

Managed by Community Volunteers Foundation, coordinated by Support for Civil Society Foundation and financially supported by Pegasus Airlines, the project Flying to Tomorrow accepts applications from youth in Turkey aged between 18-29 year-olds, as well as youth groups, and NGOs working with young people.

After the call for project applications, which will be issued twice a year, the project ideas will go through a technical pre-elimination phase. Later, the assessment committee will evaluate the projects, a grant agreement will be signed with those deemed worthy of receiving support, and subsequently the grants will be allocated.
