The Princess Basma Youth Resource Centre (PBYRC) (formerly known as the Princess Basma Women’s Resource Centre est. 1996) which is part of the Jordanian Hashemite Fund for Human Development. PBYRC which is located in the ZENID premises was established in 2002 in response to the high demands and needs of young Jordanians. The Centre works with young people aged 10-24 from all backgrounds and regions in Jordan.

PBYRC’s mission is to promote the active role of youth in society, enhance their participation in the development process and provide them with opportunity, support and freedom to express their needs and shape new realities for their future.

Drawing from past experiences of working with young people, and being a pioneer in initiating programmes that reflect youth’s needs, the Centre’s vision is to empower young people to use their voices, participate more actively in their communities, and think creatively and critically about themselves and their roles in society.

PBYRC which is youth led, has dynamic programs that enhance young people’s participation all over the Kingdom. PBYRC’s wide variety of programmes are implemented in partnership with a diverse group of stakeholders including youth themselves, Governmental agencies including Ministry of Education and Higher Council for Youth as well as International partners including UNICEF, British Government and USAID amongst others, as well as national NGOs’ who focus on youth.
