In the absence of platforms to share their thoughts and opinions, Kolom Remaja, acting as a pioneer, serves the community as an independent and online media to promote freedom of speech and expression, especially for youths in Indonesia. We strive to provide the highest-quality content and value community partnerships through strengthening youth’s supportive network by working together constructively and cooperatively with our partners.
Kolom Remaja was established in 2018 as a community organization, during 2019 the organization has developed into an independent online media establishment and has expanded its branch of departments.
