The General Directorate of Youth (DGJ) is the public body responsible for the coordination and implementation of youth policies in the Autonomous Community of Madrid. It also coordinates the Network of Youth Information Services (YIS) in the Region of Madrid (CRIDJ), which includes youth departments of municipal bodies (300), youth organisations, the Youth Council of Madrid and others.

In total, there are currently 395 youth information and counselling services (centres, offices and points of information) officially recognised and integrated into our network. Two-thirds are funded and run by municipalities. The remaining are private and public organisations (associations, foundations, federations, universities, and educational centres, as well as army information and support offices).

CRIDJ has been a European Youth Information Quality Label holder since 2024.
