Chabibeh Club

“Chabibeh Club” was established in 2002 and is registered at the Lebanese Ministry of Youth and Sports (License Nb. 35 SH/R). Today, it is a member of 6 Lebanese sports federations, and participates yearly at national tournaments and competitions. Since its founding, the organization used sport as a tool to positively integrate young people in their society, and to develop their competences to empower them physically, socially, educationally, culturally and professionally. In 2008, “Chabibeh Club” founded the “Chabibeh Youth” department which is working closely and in strong collaboration with the “Chabibeh Sports” department, offering a one of a kind experience and a safe, interactive and supportive environment where young people can practice their favorite activity, build friendships, and acquire lifetime skills through sports and local and international projects. Sports, Youth Empowerment, Youth Participation, Volunteering, and Social Development became the main areas of focus for the organization whether through “Chabibeh Sports” or “Chabibeh Youth”. Since 2009, “Chabibeh Club” partners with European and Mediterranean organizations to develop and implement youth projects offering young women and men the chance to take part in exchanges, volunteering projects and training workshops in Europe and in Lebanon. Chabibeh Club is also a member of the “Anna Lindh Foundation” and the “Euromed Citizenship Network”. Vision We envision a society where youth are empowered socially, culturally and educationally.
