The Youth Council of Romania (YCR)

We represent the young people from Romania at the national and international level!

 

The purpose of YCR

The purpose of the Youth Council of Romania is to act for the defense and the promotion of the rights of the Romanian young people in the country and above, as well as in order to increase their active participation in the life of the communities they belong to. The YCR supports and sustains the common interests of his members at the local, regional, national, European and international level.

In its 13 years of activity, the YCR has assumed the mission to ensure the presence of a strong voice of young people at the institutional and public level in the process of developing public policies that target young people and which can have a significant impact on young people, including in the fields that target occupation, education, health, civic and political participation and volunteering.

In this regard, the YCR represents the main non-governmental partner on youth issues in relation to central authorities and public institutions empowered in the field of youth policies.

Currently, the YCR brings together 22 federative structures, with a network over 400 youth organizations, being the only structure in Romania affiliated to the European Youth Forum and the World Assembly of Youth.
