What YOUCA does
At YOUCA, we believe in the power of young people to contribute to a sustainable and just world. Through connection, collaboration and experience, we introduce young people to impactful experiences in an accessible and challenging way that equip them with the necessary confidence and tools in their commitment to a better world. We do this through various activities, workshops, actions, projects and collaborations with partners who, like us, strive for positive change.

YOUCA Action Day
On 16 October 2025, it will be YOUCA Action Day, formerly South Day. That's when you commit, on a school day, to work for one day with 15,000 other young people. Where you get to work is up to you. The sky is the limit! The pay you earn that day, 60 euros, goes to projects of committed young people worldwide.
Annual theme & projects
Every year, lots of YOUCA young people choose a specific theme and accompanying projects to throw themselves fully into that year. Do you already know where the YOUCA Action Day 2025 proceeds will go?
Educational material
Every year, YOUCA develops inspiring educational materials to immerse pupils in the annual theme and best prepare them for the YOUCA Action Day. In recent years, we have created a multi-faceted offering that immerses pupils in social themes. With a variety of topics and methodologies , we respond to the needs of different schools and offer practical tools to discuss social issues in the classroom in an engaging and accessible way.
