Why become a member
The YES Forum operates as a focal point for exchange on policy, best practice and information on youth social work.
Our network is recognised by the European Commission and the Council of Europe as an expert organisation in the field of disadvantaged young people.
Networking and capacity building
We foster the cooperation among our members by creating room for peer learning and exchange of inspiring practices, such as workshops, trainings and webinars. As part of lifelong learning, we believe that further training of professionals ensures high quality in the various work fields with young people.
Advocacy at the European level
We engage in civil dialogue with EU institutions and contribute with research and policy recommendations on key topics affecting young people and youth service providers. The focus is on bringing together professionals and vulnerable young people with policymakers to ensure their voices are heard.
A network driven by its members
The Members’ Assembly agrees upon the annual budget, determines strategic project activities, and defines the future lobbying focus as well as the priorities of the annual work plan. Becoming an EEIG member grants the active involvement in shaping the future development of the network.
