EYCA Member Organisations

EYCA Member Organisations

The youth card organisations and members of EYCA all have their own characteristics. Each youth card is independent but, in order to be a member of EYCA and issue the EURO<26 youth card, must respect common rules and quality standards.

This makes for a rich mix of member card organisations. Some are formed specifically to promote and develop the EURO<26 card, some are linked to existing organizations (eg. the national youth hostel association, youth information services, or youth travel specialists.) All have the backing of their government's youth ministry, education department, or equivalent.

Most youth cards are operated by young, small and flexible organisations that understand how to create an attractive mix of information, services and products.

In doing so, they have learned to operate with funding from different sources: card sales, public or governmental agencies and commercial sponsors.

What unites the EYCA family is a shared vision of EURO<26 playing a key role in the future of young people in Europe.
