I finally got the chance by Bleona
I’m Bleona 19 years old, a member of YMCA in Prishtina. I have heard about YMCA a few years ago and wanted to be
part of it but the YMCA wasnt yet here in Prishtina, However I finally got the chance to join in 2019!

Getting the opportunity to be part of YMCA was a
great chance. I am now part of the Leadership progect and have finished
the Community level. I have learned things I didn’t know before. Different
discussions with my peers was like opening books which shared different thoughts and feelings. I also enjoy chilling time with other YMCA volunteers and our trainers in YMCA’s office where we dance, listen to music, watch movies and make food.

My first experience as a workshop leader was in Gjakova, during the 16 Days of Activism to end gender based violence, we organized a workshop with young people from the Gjakova YMCA. Everyone had the space
to express their own thoughts and listen to others. We tried
to understand each-others perspective. I felt really confident but I wasn’t so sure about my reactions to others opinions, how I would react and if i would be judgmental without meaning it... however it
all went really good and I had no problems. After I started, I felt so confident and comfortable and continued
sharing with them what I knew about Leadership.

Being part of the Leadership project has helped me with my
leadership skills, and I can’t wait for more! I believe this is also adding to my CV.
YMCA is my home, full of people who have great
perspectives and who are going to change the world, trust me, write that down!
