Our members

Founded in 2002, the Youth and European Social Work Forum (or YES Forum) is a growing network of organisations across several EU and non EU countries. They are bound together by a commitment to fostering social inclusion and active participation of children and young people who experience disadvantage and exclusion.

The Y.E.S. Forum considers young people a positive driving force in the process of shaping Europe and its societies. Participation of young people with fewer opportunities and their direct involvement in network activities has been a key priority in the Y.E.S. Forum since its foundation. In the framework of this long-term perspective, the Y.E.S. Forum supports sustainable strategies that enable participation and empower young people to decide about their lives and become active citizens in Europe.
