About Europe4Youth
Our organization is taking care that all young people in Lesser Poland have the conditions and opportunities for education, development, participation in public life, and thus create a healthy and democratic civil society from the local to European levels. We take care of it on various levels: we provide European information and consultations for young people, we support young people in organizing youth exchanges and initiatives, train youth workers and support organizations working with youth, develop youth work tools and participate in the development of youth policies at local to European levels, enabling youth people and youth participation structures to be part of it.

WHO ARE WE WORKING WITH?
We direct our work to following groups:
- Young people in Lesser Poland in age of 13-30 (in different age segments depending on the project) with special attention to people with fewer opportunities – from deurbanized areas, NEETs, school dropouts, people with lesser access to culture, or high-quality education, with more disadvantage social background, as well as national, ethnic and sexual minorities. Where are they coming from? We have established group of over 200 young associates (young people interested in youth activism, who joined our organization), we also collaborate with high schools from all over Lesser Poland (we work with pupils), as well as major Universities in the region working with students.
- Youth leaders, youth activists, youth organisations, active young people who we train, support and collaborate with in local and international youth initiatives. They graduate from our annual “Youth Leadership School”, after which they associate with us.
