Welcome to MAYD.org
Moroccan Americans Youth For Democracy
The voice of change
Thanks to the solid and fruitful cooperation between Morocco and the United States of America, many social, economic and political initiatives have been introduced to bring an added value to the diplomatic endeavors done by the two nations.
The time has come for young people from both countries to become involved. The youth as a generative resource of creativity, flexibility and innovation has the potential to effectively make a difference, challenge the statu quo and initiate the change.
Within this framework, a new club with a new vision : the « Moroccan Americans Youth For Democracy » was founded with the ambition to share its know-how, insights and new approaches and become an active voice in the Moroccan democratic transition that we all seek to be part of.
This new organization will focus on increasing the role of youth within the non-profit sphere and encouraging them to be politically proactive, and socially involved.
