Seasonal or Year-Round
VanGO was designed to be active year-round! However, during the first year, technical and legal challenges (such as registration and safety approvals) temporarily interrupted our visits from January to summer. With these challenges now being addressed, and with the successful testing of our solar-powered electrical system (which even handles heating!), we are confident that VanGO will operate year-round moving forward.
Activities offered
VanGO offers a wide range of activities depending on the community’s needs! Some of the activities include creative workshops (art, DIY, music sessions), nonformal education activities, board games, youth-led discussions, health and well-being information sessions, career orientation support, and community building events. VanGO creates a safe, informal, and fun space where young people can relax, learn, and connect.
Specialization
While VanGO is a general youth center on wheels, it places a special emphasis on youth empowerment and participation. Through VanGO, we aim to foster active citizenship, personal development, creativity, and solidarity among rural youth.
Public Route/Time Info
We announce VanGO’s routes and schedules on our NGO’s social media pages (mainly Instagram and Facebook) and through posters and announcements in local community spaces like schools, libraries, and town halls. Updates are shared regularly to make sure everyone knows when VanGO is rolling into town!
