Who can join ERYICA?

Members of the Agency are national co-ordinating bodies (governmental or non-governmental) in the field of generalist youth information or youth counselling which operate in accordance with the principles of the European Youth Information Charter.

In order to join ERYICA, these co-ordinating bodies must be:

  • formally established national co-ordinating structures, or
  • bodies which have a national co-ordinating function according to the form adopted in their country.

An application for membership of ERYICA must be made in writing, and will be considered by the ERYICA Governing Board.

To become an Affiliated Organisation, one structure or body must be working in the field of youth information and counselling and must be either national or transnational in scope, or involved in a process of national or transnational co-ordination in this field. It may be an organisation coming from countries outside Europe.

A body which is part of a national co-ordination that is a Member of the Agency, or which is affiliated to a Member may not be given the status of Affiliated Organisation.
