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.

1. There is a large number of unheard voices from youths in Indonesia
2. Youths in Indonesia tend to be oblivious about social issues currently happening both in Indonesia and around the world;
3. There are a lot of organisations that aim to empower youth, yet give them less chance to express their thoughts and ideas.
4. There is absence of platforms that could give Indonesian youths a chance to speak up about their thoughts and opinions

Kolom Remaja aspires to be a platform to connect, encourage, and empower youths to speak up and create an impact.

1. “No Rejection Policy”: Accept all submissions from Indonesian youth who wish to speak out their thoughts and opinions;
2. “Editorial Guidelines”: Provide guidance by giving constructive criticisms for submitted articles to achieve highest-quality of contents;

4. “Internal Campaign”: Produce in-House articles aiming to increase awareness about social issues among youths; and
5. “Constructive & Cooperative”: Work constructively and cooperatively with external partners.

1. Promote freedom of speech amongst youth in Indonesia by ensuring that youths’ opinions are taken into account and do matter;
2. Increase individual self-esteem;
3. Inspire and enrich one another through constructive criticism;
