Joy Of Youth

What Joy Of Youth does

Joy Of Youth is a volunteer-driven non-profit organization established in 2013 by Founder Saeed Azhar and Co-Founder Walaa Abu Sabeen in collaboration with Saudi students studying in the United States. The organization mobilizes community-led charitable, educational, and humanitarian campaigns for underprivileged individuals and families, with a primary focus on under-served communities in Saudi Arabia and a secondary presence in the United States. The company serves four primary segments: underprivileged individuals and families (the core beneficiary base for Iftar distribution, house renovations, and Eid gifts), youth volunteers and students seeking structured community-service opportunities, corporations seeking Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) partnership programs, and pilgrims requiring Hajj and Umrah support services.

The organization's service portfolio is structured around recurring annual campaigns rather than technology products. Flagship campaigns include the Ramadan Iftar Campaign (distributing over 1,000 meals per day across multiple Saudi cities during Ramadan), the House Key Campaign (same-day full home renovation for families in need), 'Ramadan With Us' (children's gift and toy distribution ahead of Eid al-Fitr across six Saudi cities), 'Every Joy & You're Okay' (Eid al-Adha gift distribution in neighborhoods and hospitals), and 'Our Values' (influencer-led inspirational forums during Ramadan). Supporting services include the 'Think With JOY' idea-submission platform that crowdsources campaign concepts from the public and a CSR partnership program for corporate employee volunteering. There is no proprietary technology platform; operations are executed by a member-led structure of 10 functional teams (Social Media, Website Management, Content Writing, Graphic Design, Quality Improvement, Strategic Communication, Operations Management, Public Relations, Human Resources, and CSR) and city-level regional leadership covering 10+ Saudi cities plus Washington D.C.

Joy Of Youth does not generate revenue in the commercial sense; it is funded through donations, sponsorships, and CSR partnerships, with all services delivered free of charge to beneficiaries. The organization has mobilized a community of 250+ active members, 7,000+ cumulative volunteers, 100+ influencers, and over 1,000,000 cumulative beneficiaries across 50+ campaigns since founding. Geographic operations span Saudi Arabia, the United States, and a one-time 2018 expansion to Zanzibar, Tanzania. The organization is privately governed by its founders and team leadership, with no institutional investors, parent company, or subsidiaries disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Misk Foundation: Saudi non-profit foundation focused on youth empowerment, volunteering, and skills development at much larger scale — comparable as a KSA-based youth-development institution but with materially broader resources.
• Saudi Red Crescent Authority: Saudi government humanitarian/relief body providing humanitarian services nationwide — a much larger incumbent in adjacent humanitarian relief space.
• King Khalid Foundation: Major Saudi philanthropic foundation supporting charitable and humanitarian initiatives nationally — a broader incumbent in the same domestic giving space.
• KSRelief (King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre): Saudi government humanitarian aid body running large-scale relief and charitable programs regionally and internationally — a much larger incumbent in the same humanitarian space.
• Ehsan (National Charitable Giving Platform): Government-backed Saudi donation platform aggregating charitable campaigns from many NGOs — a competitor/channels incumbent that funnels donor dollars that would otherwise go directly to organizations like Joy Of Youth.

Direct peers

• Resala Charity Organization: One of the largest youth-led volunteer NGOs in the Arab world (Egypt), running charitable campaigns, Iftar distribution, and community development programs — directly comparable as a youth volunteer nonprofit with a multi-city, multi-program model similar to Joy Of Youth.
• INJAZ Saudi Arabia: Saudi-licensed member of INJAZ Al-Arab delivering youth programs through corporate volunteers — a direct functional peer with the same youth-and-CSR combination that Joy Of Youth markets.
• INJAZ Al-Arab: Regional non-profit focused on youth workforce readiness and community engagement across MENA — comparable to Joy Of Youth's youth-development mission and CSR-linked programming.

Regional players

• Tarahum Charity Foundation: Saudi-based charitable foundation operating humanitarian and volunteer programs across the kingdom — directly comparable in mission and Saudi operating geography, though structured as a foundation rather than volunteer-led nonprofit.
• Absher Charitable Society: Saudi-based charitable society providing humanitarian aid and community programs — comparable as a KSA humanitarian nonprofit with similar beneficiary focus.
