Founded in 2002, YES Forum is a European network of organisations working with and for young people with fewer opportunities. By promoting their social inclusion and developing their professional skills, we act to improve the life chances of vulnerable young people. YES Forum aims to create positive change to combating poverty and inequalities across Europe.

The YES Forum is driven by its members, who have overall decision-making authority. The network is represented by the appointed Managing Director, who is responsible for running its business and internal organisation. The management Board elected by the members supervises budget and activities. Planned aims are implemented through our democratic structure with the full participation of members.

To coordinate the activities and to support effective internal and external communication, the YES Forum is supported by the Secretariat in Stuttgart. In the Secretariat, experienced staff works together in a dynamic environment.

Board:
