  Mladiinfo – FEJS MK a non-profit, non-governmental organization is established in Skopje, Macedonia 8 years ago. Mladiinfo’s mission is to aid respective young individuals in developing personally and increasing their independence, so that they could become more active agents in the society and thus transform it, which will make them more prepared for the forthcoming challenges they might face in the future.
  
  How we are doing it?
  - Providing information for free education possibilities on our portal (www.mladiinfo.eu). Only last year we succeeded to attract around 1 million young visitors coming from more than 213 countries in the world.
  - Organizing many information sessions and events in our Grant Center located in a public university library in Skopje (www.mladiinfo.com/centar), and
  - Implementing various projects on different topics together with our international partners and supporters.
  
  Since the establishing, Mladiinfo is working to fulfil its mission to help the young people that need a particular support to fulfil their educational potential as they are challenged by many educational disadvantages caused by either personal, social, cultural or economic circumstances.
  
  Mladiinfo came into existence as a solution for the problem of access to information. Gradually developing, the portal managed to fill the gaps and feed those who were continually seeking for new challenges and better opportunities. What started as a spark, spread into a cross-border fire as www.mladiinfo.eu, became a reference portal that provides reliable information and interactively contributes to the transfer of knowledge. Mladiinfo recently started to grow and to spread its actions over the borders of its home country, Macedonia. The daughter organizations in Slovakia, Czech Republic, Slovenia and Montenegro established in 2011, gave Mladiinfo a brand face of strong youth organization in Central and Southeast Europe.
