Vision
Our vision is for Sa Suudad to be an organisation that includes and advocates for young people who engage in or have engaged in high-risk behaviour.
Mission
The mission of Sa Suudad (Estonian for “You can”) is to listen to, gather and share the experiences and advice of young people, especially the voices of young people whose behaviour may be hard to understand and who engage in or have engaged in risk behaviour.
The organization's broader goal is to contribute to the development of various systems (e.g. educational, social and legal systems) so that they are more child and youth-friendly, more informed and more effective in working with young people.
We achieve this goal by listening, engaging and supporting young people, and by providing them with safe opportunities to participate in various activities and engagement events that provide new experiences, strengthen self-awareness and increase participation.
We consider it important that every child and young person is meaningfully involved in decisions that affect them.
It is also important for us to support young people's loved ones and other adults who surround and influence young people on a daily basis.
Our values
We act with passion
so that young people receive the support they need.
Let's move
towards making the voice of young people heard.
We start from
the understanding that every person has their own story and the patterns of behaviour that come from it.
We include
We believe that every young person should be involved and their voice should be heard. This includes actively involving its partners and target groups in the planning and implementation of its activities.
We cooperate
with young people, those around them and other adults, including partners in Estonia and abroad.
For every activity we plan or carry out, we think about how it will contribute to increasing the well-being and coping skills of young people.
We base our activities on Estonian legislation, the principles of social work ethics, the NGO Code of Ethics, and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
What does the NGO's activities contribute to?
1
Equal opportunities
Young people who engage in risk behaviour can be very hard to understand, and as a result they may be pushed away by both their peers and adults in the community. By supporting and involving young people, Sa Suudad helps them become more included in society and creates opportunities for more positive connections with other members of the community.
2
A caring community
By giving young people a voice, we empower and empower them to be active and productive members of the community.

Inclusion
