Youth is the pillar of any civilization and the fuel of any human

development In Qatar, HH Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani Emir

of the country wisely acted once again through the Emiri Decree stating

that the former General Youth Authority will be annexed to the Ministry of

Culture, Arts and Heritage, uniting thus the two streams of development:

Culture and Youth.

In Fact, the youth centers, the specialized centers and the associations are

covering all parts of the State, from borders to borders, attracting boys andgirls, reformulating their skills and thoughts and guiding them to the right

track. The developmental process, the support and the creation of a new

spirit in our Youth institutions shouldnt stop, since a cultural or an artistic

evolution will not exist without brains capable to bear responsibility and

hold the banner in the future.

We wont stop making emphasis on the partnership and the essential role

played by the youth eld, throughout its different centers and associations,

in the realization of Qatar future vision 2030 in which we all seek to

participate.

Youth centers in Qatar have achieved the hard task of integrating and

enabling girls and people with special needs to take part in the public and

community work, by providing the needed tools of support and boosting

them to represent Qatar in regional, Arab and international events.The youth institutions greatly contributed also over almost 50 years, since

the establishment of Al-Jasrah Club during the sixties of the previous

century, in producing generations whose members are now among the

country leaders in the different domains of the professional life.

Thus, Qatar has possessed an immense stock of expertise in the eld of

Youths work in addition to the institutions that gained international

participations and that are duly recognized today. They had great

contributions in the elds of administrating youth institutions, endorsing

plans and programs, follow-up and implementation of policies.

We all hope that our youth institutions achieve what we aspire thanks

to the reasonable policies of administrations and the available means of

attracting the targeted categories. Those institutions have to be a shield and

an assist to the families at home, to the teacher at school and to the Imamin the mosque, in order to build the proper personality and to preserve the

original Qatari Arab identity.

If the world celebrates the youths day only once a year, we celebrate

(thanks to God) our youth every day, standing committed to dedicate our

work to this nation.

Preamble

Over more than 30 years, youth work submitted successive and great

developments. This vital eld also went along several stages of ripening

and formation and proceeded until now The most important stages are:

HH the Emir of the State lled the position of Chairman of the Higher

Council for Youth Welfare since its establishment in 1979 until 1991.

Therefore, it is a great honor and a matter of pride for us, as we are

completing a process that was once introduced by His Highness with

his futuristic vision and thoughts. Today we are reaping the fruits of that

vision and thoughts under his sponsorship, care and wise leadership of the

country.

The rst stage came after the establishment of the Higher Council for

Youth Welfare and next to the promulgation of the Emiri Decree (90) for

the year 1990 which issued the establishment of the (General Authority for

Youth and Sport). In this period the features of youth movement gradually

started to appear on the surface. Thus, several youth institutions that played

various cultural and educational roles evolved in Qatar.

At the beginning of the new millennium, the General Authority of Youth

superseded the General Authority for Youth and Sport next to the Decree

(57) for the year 2000 issuing the appointment of the Chairman of the

General Authority of Youth. HE Sheikh Saoud Bin Khaled Al Thani served

as Chairman of the authority with the rank of Minister.

The Decree (5) for the year 2004 formed another distinctive stage in

youth journey: this decree issued the transference of (Youth Department)

from Qatar National Olympic Committee (QNOC) to the General Authority

of Youth.

By the end of the year 2008, youth eld with its two branches; Activities

and Youth Centers became afliated to the Ministry of Culture, Arts and

Heritage.

In 2009, a ministerial decision (81) was issued nominating Mr. SalmanIbrahim Al-Malik Director of the Youth Centers Department.

In 2010, a ministerial decision (107) was issued appointing Mr. Salman

Ibrahim Al-Malik Director of the Youth Centers Department.

In 2011, a ministerial decision (296) was issued appointing Mr.

Abderrazak Abdullah Saeed Al-Rabiaa Al-Kuwari Director of the Youth

Centers Department.

The Main Goals of Youth Centers

The Youth Centers Department oversees the implementation

of several common tasks and goals to which it is committed.

Those tasks and goals present an essential framework that youth

centers work accordingly. There are also other particular tasks

for each center that distinguish each one of them from the other

and meet the surrounding environment characteristics and the

type of interests of each centers afliates. The main goals of

those centers are the following:

Creating the appropriate environment to practice the different

hobbies and activities

Encouraging the afliates to participate in the local and foreign

competitions and events

Consolidating the values of loyalty and belonging

Enhancing the cooperation and the exchange of experiences

Proting from the spare time

Encouraging girls to engage in youth work as they represent

the half of the population

Preserving Qatar old heritage, traditions and customs

The organizational schedule of work at the youth centers

For further organization of work within the youth institutions,

HE Dr. Hamad Bin Abdulaziz Al-Kuwari, Minister of Culture,

Arts and Heritage issued the decision (133) for the year 2010.

This decision determines the organizational plan of work at the

youth institutions (Centers Clubs Associations) afliated to the

Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage. This decision highlighted

also the necessity of opening youth centers during holidays and

weekends to welcome youngsters and youth and allow them

practice their different activities. This idea presented a quantum

leap in the domain of youth work and won the approbation of

all due to its great impact upon the community. In fact, youth

would prot from their spare time during holidays by attracting

them to a fertile environment, where they can develop their

skills and talents. The ministerial decision dened also several

standards required in those who nd themselves able to properly

plan and manage any youth institution. This was in the context

of motivating the qualied citizens to ll the leading position in

youth work and habilitating those who are competent to promotewith the youth institutions. First of all, the candidate should be a

Qatari citizen. His/her academic qualications and experiences

should match with the centers activity and specialties in order

to avoid any disharmony between the academic qualication and

the activity dealt with. Moreover, the candidate should be more

than 25 years old, holding a higher degree and working full-

time for the youth institution. To emphasize the fairness of the

selection, the ministerial decision stipulated that the candidate

shouldnt be red before or his/her membership was denitely

suspended from any other authority working in the youth elds,

unless that incident happened at least four years before the new

candidacy.

When these conditions are met, the Youth Centers Department

appoints the selected candidate. Furthermore, and in order to create

a new spirit in the institution, the period of appointed candidate

and that of the board of directors should go in parallel. Therefore,

the period of appointment shouldnt be exceeded unless the new

board of directors issues a proposal about it. This proposal has to

be approved also by the Youth Centers Department.

Mrs, Emna Derwish Hudaib Messaood, Treasurer

Mrs. Moonira Ibrahim Al-Muraikhi, Member

The establishment of this center came in the context of the overall

orientation which works on propagating the youth institutions in the

different areas of the State, and particularly those including girlsactivities, in order to give them the chance to practice all activities that

correspond with their inclinations. Consequently, they will have the

chance to purposefully exploit their spare time and thus, both girls and

their social environment will benet from those activities.

This center is the rst of its kind in Al-Khour city which is one of Qatarbiggest cities and the second capital after Doha city. Al-Khour Girls

Center was established to take into account the rituals and the traditions

which forbid girls from attending centers situated far away from their

houses to practice their activities.

Al-Khour Girls Center, as the rst public center for girls in the State,

is effectively contributing to the building up of Qatari girls personality

and preparing her to be an active member in the society.

It is evident throughout this division that the roles of youth institutions

vary and harmonize in a splendid integral way. In fact, they tackled

almost all elds and created for every single talent an outlet and a space.

This wouldnt be accomplished without the effort of a comprehensive

department which adjusts the performance of the afliated institutions

and highlights the fact that the adequate administration is the secretbeyond the success of any institution. In the coming era, the department

is working on annexing new youth institutions to its organism, so that

all regions in the State from the north to the south will benet from

those efforts.
