  • Mission

    YSR's mission is to change individual's lives and to create better opportunities through sports. Together, we co-create a place where all people can pursue their passion, work on their goals and be together.

    About Us

    YSR was born in 2017 on Lesvos, Greece, in response to the need for healthy safe spaces, the sense of community and a place to work on mental and physical health. In 2020, we expanded to Athens and in Ioannina in 2021. Every day we offer more than 20 different sports activities to approximately 400 people. Our model is unique with our coaches coming from a refugee background.
