What drives us
We are committed to enabling all young people to gain new learning and life experiences through international exchanges and encounters, to advancing international youth work and youth policy in a sustainable way through mutual learning, to strengthening international cooperation and partnerships in the youth sector, and to helping to build a stronger international profile for child and youth services in Germany through cross-border expert dialogue.
To this end, our work takes place in four dimensions:
As a network of independent and public-sector organisations for child and youth services, we adopt clear positions in the interest of the field of international youth work. We actively leverage the network to promote dialogue, cooperation and further development across the community of practice.

The IJAB office offers members, young people and all stakeholders in the youth field advisory services, technical support and continued professional training to facilitate their international activities. The office is a gateway to the expertise and knowledge held by the entire network and provides inspiration through its innovative approaches and model projects. As a partner of the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth , we support initiatives run by the Ministry in the area of international youth work and youth policy, implement these, and offer the Ministry our advice and expertise. We also offer programmes within the framework of the Federal Government’s international youth policy relations. We are committed to an open, social Europe. IJAB is the legal entity behind JUGEND für Europa , Germany’s National Agency for the EU programmes Erasmus+ Youth and Erasmus+ Sport and the European Solidarity Corps. We work to make the European Union and Europe as a whole accessible for young people and experts so they can experience European engagement and participation, and support the continued development of youth work across Europe.
