We give back to the village what the village gave us.
Since 1948, the Yoana youth village has raised generations of children — many of them immigrants and youth at risk — into capable, caring adults. Our association reconnects sixty graduating classes into one active community, and channels its experience, networks, and generosity back to the students living in the village today.

- 2028 — celebrating 80 years of Yoana
We have 78 years of stories — and we are writing the next chapter now.
From 1948 to today, the village has been home to generations. In 2028 we will celebrate 80 years — and that is the reunion all of us will be at.
The full site is under construction — and we are building it together with you
We are building a complete digital home for the memory of Yoana — a place where you will find your class, the teachers you loved, and the people you lost touch with. And we want to build it from the photos, stories and names that you remember.
