Who can participate?
Groups of young people, non-profit-making non-governmental organisations or associations, public authorities and others experienced in the field of youth and non-formal education can participate in, and apply for financial support from, the YOUTH programme.
European non-governmental youth organisations (ENGYOs), which are based in one of the Programme countries and have member branches in at least eight Programme countries can also participate. They may apply directly to the European Commission or through their national branches to its National Agency.
In order to participate in most types of project co-financed by the YOUTH programme, a partnership must be established with one or more partner(s), depending on the rules prevailing for each Action and varying according to which country the partner(s) come(s) from.
The YOUTH programme is mainly aimed at partners from Programme countries (EU Member States, EFTA/EEA countries and pre-accession countries). To a limited extent and under certain conditions, it is also open to partners from countries in other parts of the world, i.e. "Partner Countries".
