There are three types of Membership in the YEPP Community Network: 

1. YEPP Local Sites – organisation or community that follows the YEPP Concept of Change and Working Standards to empower young people with fewer opportunities and community stakeholders to work together on social change processes. We offer consulting, training and coaching on bringing about social change.
2. Project partners – participate in YEPP EUROPE projects (subject to Erasmus+ funding) and share the Working Standards. If you are interested in becoming a Project Partner by participating in one of YEPP EUROPE’s projects or by including YEPP EUROPE in one of your projects, get in contact with us. Partnership is one of our key goals and working principles, and we are open to new adventures.
3. Associate members – share the Working Standards, not formally involved in the YEPP EUROPE projects but participate in dissemination activities and knowledge exchange within the Network.

If you are interested in becoming a member under any of these categories, please get in touch with us.

Becoming an Associate Member of the YEPP Community Network is free of charge. However, there are three essential requirements: 

1. Your organisation embraces our Goals, Principles & Values. 
You do so by signing the YEPP Working Standards which include YEPP EUROPE’s vision & mission and the goals and principles of YEPP which outline the “YEPP” philosophy and the Concept of Change – a common ground for local communities, practitioners, partners, funders and other stakeholders involved in the YEPP Community Network.

2. Your organisation is a good fit.
From the profile of your organisation, its mission and aims, we assess if your organisation fits to the YEPP Goals and Principles and our mission. 

3. Your organisation is ready to be actively involved.
YEPP EUROPE develops online and offline learning and exchange opportunities for young people and youth workers on a regular basis. We also advocate for youth and community empowerment, inclusion of marginalised groups, Human and Children’s Rights, the European Youth Goals and the Sustainable Development Goals. 

Becoming an Associate Member means actively sharing your expertise, as well as disseminating our work and participating in our advocacy work, our campaigns and online activities using your channels on social media, Newsletter and other media tools.
