Mustafa Mohammad Director

Mustafa is passionate about human rights and aims to continue striving for every young persons rights to opportunities and a safe, prosperous future.

Originating from Syria, Mustafa began his career travelling across the globe as a sailor, aiming to become a captain. Once the war erupted in Syria, his career was abruptly interrupted. In 2015, he moved to Greece to find a different path there. In 2017 he joined the newly opened Velos Youth Centre as a Cultural Mediator for Arabic. Quickly his passion to support the young people visiting the day centre was undeniable, and his ability to find solutions and empower each young person became apparent. Soon he was promoted to a Case Worker where his skills, determination and proactivity shined. In 2019, Mustafa became the co-manager of Velos Youth, and a year later one of the Directors of the day centre which has since continued to grow.
