Why YouthNetworks?

YouthNetworks is developed by NoBorders. NoBorders is a non profit organisation that wants to make connections between youth organisations, youth workers and youngsters easier and more efficient. We developed a website where organisations, youth workers and youngsters can find each other for different purposes. Youngsters can search for EVS vacancies, Organisations can put their information online (like general information, photo’s, video’s, projects, vacancies, information on seminars and events etc.) and can search for partner organisations. Youth workers or youth organisations can create their own network in different expertises. And much more!
