What Shabab Mujtamaie | شباب مجتمعي does

Shabab Mujtamaie (شباب مجتمعي) is a Saudi Arabian nonprofit organization headquartered in Dhahran, Eastern Province, that empowers professionals working with youth and advances the practice of professional youth work across the Kingdom. Founded in March 2017 as a community initiative under Khalid Ali Al-Turki & Sons Holding Company, it converted to an endowment-based (waqf) entity in March 2021 and then to an independent nonprofit company in 2024. The organization operates with a team of approximately 17 professionals under Chairman Rami Al-Turki and CEO Majed Aldubaikel, and it serves three primary segments: youth workers aged 20–44, young people aged 15–29, and government, nonprofit, and private-sector institutions that run youth programs.

Its core service portfolio is built around four pillars: Youth Councils (structured platforms enabling institutional youth participation in decision-making), Maab Incubator (a social incubator supporting youth-led initiatives from ideation to sustainable entities), Rawashin Learning (interactive dialogue-based professional development sessions), and Maab Space (a flexible venue for meetings, workshops, and events). These services are complemented by ShababPedia, a knowledge hub hosting an extensive library of guides, manuals, studies, and reports on youth development topics, and by the Youth Initiatives Lab launched in December 2025. The organization does not build proprietary software or technology platforms; its core "product" is curated content, professional community, and structured advisory and program delivery.

Shabab Mujtamaie's business model is a hybrid of professional services delivery and partnership/grant funding. Revenue is generated through quote-based institutional engagements for Youth Council establishment, Maab Incubator programs, Rawashin sessions, and Maab Space bookings, supplemented by grants and sponsorships from Saudi government ministries (Human Resources and Social Development, Sports, Education, Energy), Saudi banks and corporates (AlRajihi, Bank Aljazira, SABIC/Sabreen), and philanthropic foundations (Misk, King Khalid, Mahasen, Salm Bin Mahfouz, and Al-Sulaiman Charitable Foundation). Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and all distribution is via direct institutional engagement with no self-serve or marketplace channels. The organization is recognized as a Development Partner by the King Khalid Award 2023 and positions itself as a national reference center for youth work in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030.
