Restoration of the Chernihiv Regional Youth Centre

We are proud to be working with the Chernihiv Regional State Administration and Regional Development Agency to support the restoration and repurposing of the Chernihiv Regional Youth Center.

Kent With Ukraine is working on establishing an international coalition of partners to help restore this important facility.

Opened in 1939, the building which was previously a Soviet Cinema is an architectural monument of local significance. Since 2017, the building served as a regional centre for youth. In February 27, 2022, the building was severely damaged and partially destroyed during the Siege of Chernihiv.

How the building looked prior to the actions of the Russian terrorists in 2022.

In partnership with the Chernihiv Regional Administration, Kent With Ukraine are embarking on a major project to secure and manage the funding needed to rebuild and restore the Youth Center of Chernihiv as a vibrant social hub for young people to engage in education, arts, leadership, and civic action.
