Abstract
“Suncokret ” approach to young people in the local community gives them, apart from structured activities, the possibility to realise their own programs, to develop sensitization to their community problems and to start facing their own discontents. The approach include 3 areas: psycho-social activities, creative-educational activities, and Youth Club. Each of the mentioned activities includes elements of local community work. The goal of this research was to find out efficiency of this approach and to see if young people find it interesting. In other words, to find out if that approach meet young people's needs. The results show that they have very strong need for some place of their own and that the “Suncokret ” approach has fulfilled their expectations. It could be said that the very same or similar approach should be used in other local communities.
