German Federal Youth Council / Deutscher Bundesjugendring

Children and young people get involved in youth organisations, bringing in their very own wishes, concerns and interests, different abilities and perspectives. They all need a strong voice in politics – we are their interest group, the German Federal Youth Council.

As a working group of youth organisations and regional youth councils (Landesjugendringe) in Germany, we represent a strong network. About six million children and young people are members of youth organisations and youth councils. Youth organisations are places for children and young people to experience a sense of community, learn, spend leisure time and be active.
