The goals of our center are:

- cooperation with domestic and international associations and organizations;
- establishing cooperation with local authorities;
- involving young people in decision-making;
- Constructive planning of young people’s free time.
When devising its program and project goals and activities, CER keeps pace with the times in which it operates. In this regard, its guiding principle is based exclusively on the identified needs of the population with and for whom we work. Complete dedication to our beneficiaries, a thorough study of the issues we address, and ongoing professional development are things we are particularly proud of and which rightly place us among Bosnia and Herzegovina’s leading civil society organizations.
Through partnerships with other domestic and international organizations, institutions and embassies, we have managed to help solve crucial problems affecting young people.

- Prevention in the area of young people’s health;
