Faculty for Social Wellbeing - University of Malta

We wish Mr Jason Zammit all the very best for his new role as CEO of Aġenzija Żgħażagħ. We thank him for accepting this role, and for all his sterling work at Aġenzija Żgħażagħ. We wish him every success, and look forward to continuing our collaboration. Awguri Jason.

We are pleased to announce that Mr Jason Zammit has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer of Agenzija Żgħażagħ.

Mr Zammit is no stranger to the Agency, having been part of its journey for the past 15 years, contributing significantly to its growth and development over the years. His deep understanding of youth work and long-standing commitment to young people make him a natural fit for this role.

We look forward to continuing our work under his leadership as we strengthen our mission of supporting young people across Malta and Gozo.

We warmly welcome Mr Zammit into this new chapter and wish him every success in his role as CEO.

We are indebted to Miriam Teuma for establishing and leading Aġenzija Żgħażagħ with courage, and unwavering faith in young people and in youth workers. Her vision and determination have been instrumental in shaping youth work in Malta. Her commitment to the profession has given public recognition to youth work in Malta, and at a European level. We are immensely grateful for our collaboration with Aġenzija Żgħażagħ. We have learnt so much along this journey. We wish Miriam every fulfilment in the chapter ahead. Our very best wishes to Mr. Jason Zammit, an alumni of our department, on his new appointment as CEO. We look forward to continuing our collaboration.

Today, we thank Ms Miriam Teuma for her outstanding leadership, vision, and dedication as CEO of Agenzija Żgħażagħ over the past 15 years.

What began as a vision grew into a home for youth work in Malta; an agency that not only created employment opportunities for youth workers, but also opened countless doors for young people to grow, learn, travel, participate, and believe in their potential.

Ms Teuma did not simply lead an agency; she built a community rooted in care, passion, inclusion, and belief in young people. Her work has touched the lives of so many, and her legacy will continue to live on through every youth worker empowered by Agenzija Żgħażagħ and every young person whose journey was shaped by its opportunities.

Thank you for your commitment, for believing in the value of youth work, and for planting seeds that will continue to flourish for generations to come.

Wishing you all the very best in this new chapter of your life. May you always carry with you the pride of knowing that your impact has been profound and lasting. Your legacy will continue to inspire many for years to come.
