Our structure
Board
Youth Express Network is managed by a Board composed of a minimum 5 and maximum 7 members, residing in at least three different European countries, elected by the General Assembly.
The members of the board are elected for a two years term by secret ballot by ordinary majority. Outgoing members may be re-elected. The board ensures the current management of the organisation and takes all the decisions which are not of the responsibility of the General Assembly. All board members work voluntarily for Youth Express Network.
Coordination office
Our coordination office is located in Strasbourg, France at the « House of associations » (Maison des Associations de Strasbourg).
Volunteers
The SAYers are Youth Express Network’s volunteers, one of our most important resource. They all are former participants who decided to carry on contributing to the network’s activity. The SAY (pool of volunteers) gathers qualified and experienced trainers, facilitators, youth/social workers, reporters, professionals and experts, who join the teams in charge of organising and leading our activities.
