Our Member Organisations
We were born out of the cooperation between a group of European youth organisations, who later became our first member organisations. Several other organizations have joined our network since then, and we now bring together 381 national organisations across 46 countries.
Our member organisations are our most important partners in our mission to unite European youth in our fight for a just green transition. Read more about them below.
