After nine years Athgo has a new look. As of today, Athgo will officially have a new logo. We loved the old one, which was inspired by our global perspective and work with the United Nations, but as a progressive and dynamic organization, Athgo has evolved to the point that, while retaining the core of its original vision, it has taken on additional goals and tasks that reflect the most pressing interests of youth in our ever-changing world today.
