Bureau members

The European Youth Forum is governed by young people elected from organisations connected to the realities on the ground. The composition of the Bureau reflects the diversity of the membership and is truly multinational. The average age of the Bureau members is 25.

The Bureau is a collective body elected by the General Assembly and responsible for the implementation of the work plan and the development of European Youth Forum. The Bureau meets every two months and takes active part in the working structures of the organisation as well as in the external representation of the organisation.
