Board and General Meeting
YOUCA is an organisation run by and for young people – and we take that very seriously. Young people are at the helm! We aim for at least 70 per cent of the members of our governing bodies to be aged 25 or under. There are two official bodies where you can get involved.
General Assembly
The General Assembly (GA) is the highest governing body. The GA meets twice a year to take a bird’s-eye view of YOUCA: the YOUCA Action Day campaign, the financial situation, the annual report, the election of the GA and the Board… In November, the GA even meets for a full 24 hours, with workshops and loads of fun.

Board
The Board is elected by the General Assembly. They meet 10 times a year and jointly determine the organisation’s strategy. The Board takes all major decisions, such as major financial investments, advising the coordinator, and representing YOUCA to the outside world…
