YOUCA Action Day
Every year, more than 15,000 young people from Flanders and Brussels sign up to spend a day working for a company, an organisation, a public body or a private individual. The wages they earn on that school day go towards projects run by committed young people worldwide. The next YOUCA Action Day will take place on 15 October 2026. Will you be there?
