The European Youth Cards Association | Promoting Youth Participation

The European Youth Card Association (EYCA) has 40 member organizations in 38 countries. All are committed to promoting youth mobility and active citizenship for young people. EYCA member organizations believe that the young people they work with are not citizens of the future, they are citizens of Europe today and, as such, should be fully involved in decisions and developments that affect them. Member organizations develop and promote participation opportunities for young people – opportunities that give young people the chance to influence their communities, organizations at local and national levels, and what happens in society at large.

Our Theory Of Change | A Pathway For Action, Sustainability, Results, Learning, And Adaptation

We welcome the opportunity to develop and refine our Theory of Change as part of organizational Performance Improvement within Youth Excel, a 5-year USAID global flagship youth development program centered on Implementation Research. Our intended outcome is to build a practical theory to underpin our ambitious youth-led community transformation efforts. This Theory of Change is based on organizational performance improvement as an approach to build the capacity of The Youth Café which focuses on achieving our strategies.
