Working with Children
JAM
JAM is a youth club for teenagers from families facing difficult life circumstances and internally displaced persons (IDPs). The goal of the project is to create a safe space for personal growth, creativity, and communication. In an atmosphere of acceptance created by our mentors, teenagers learn to build healthy relationships and discover their inner strength and self-worth. This is a place where they can open up, gain new knowledge without fear of judgment or grading, and simply unwind.
Every week, the club meetings offer:
→ Interactive learning and educational games;
→ Creative workshops and engaging hobbies;
→ Discussions on important life topics with peers and mentors.
The JAM club helps teenagers overcome insecurity, develops critical thinking, builds trust in others, and assists them in adapting to new life environments.
The "Mazhorky" Girls' Club
Every Sunday, we meet to talk about things that matter most to teenagers: friendship, relationships with parents, personal boundaries, and identity. Our experienced mentors become true friends to the girls, helping them navigate youth crises and serving as positive role models.
Every meeting is a time for creativity and connection. We practice art therapy, do crafts, celebrate holidays, enjoy nature, and cook together. We also help the girls step confidently into the future through our career guidance course, where they can consult with professionals about their future jobs.
There is always food, laughter, and an atmosphere of acceptance free from judgment. Here, girls learn to recognize their self-worth, find true friends, and just be themselves. Over the years, the club has helped raise generations of wonderful young women—and we are blessed to continue this story.

LELA Theatrical Camps
The LELA summer camp is a special project of “Spadshchyna”, founded in 2007. Today, we open our doors to children from families facing difficult life circumstances, displaced children (IDPs), and those affected by the war. Our goal is to give every child time in a safe environment of a Christian camp, where they can heal from stress, find reliable friends, and experience God’s love and care.
What makes LELA theatrical camps so unique?
→ Theatrical Fairytale: Every camp has a unique storyline. Children completely immerse themselves in an interactive program, becoming the heroes of exciting adventures.
→ Experiential Learning & Scouting: Our programs are built on real-life experiences, adventure-based learning, creativity, and teamwork.
→ Growth and Fun: Children play sports, sing around the campfire, learn new crafts, build confidence in social skills, and enjoy horseback riding. These practical skills and bright emotions leave memories to last a lifetime.
