Field Officers – Food Security

YVS is a rapidly growing LNGO in Gaza, we work on Education in Emergencies, MHPSS, FSL, Cash assistance, and WASH throughout Gaza. The Youth Vision Society (YVS) started as a youth-led initiative by people who were passionate about community development and providing hope in Gaza. The organisation began by focusing on youths as the future of Gaza, and while we continue that work, we also focus on wider community resilience and gender transformation across all age groups. YVS emphasises empowering youths, women, and community by fostering independence, responsibility, and commitment, enabling them to realise their potential and positively impact society. We believe that young people have a crucial role in community building, and that the success of our youth is a measure of a thriving society.
