The impulse of young people generates ideas and brings a breath of fresh air in European political discussions. JEF encourages critical thinking and welcomes young people from all over the European continent, who share a vision of united and democratic Europe and are open to different cultures.

Have you ever wished to act for a better Europe?

Thousands of young people across the continent share a common goal: the creation of a closer and more democratic Europe. Take a look at our Leaflet and get in touch with a section near you. Becoming a member of your own local, regional or national section automatically gives you the right to benefit from the activities organised by JEF-Europe. If you can't find your section in the list of contacts, don't hesitate to send an e-mail to the European Secretariat which will be happy to help you out!

Volunteers are JEF's most important asset. With their knowledge and motivation they are the driving force of the organisation, in particular when they are interested in working for the backbone of the organisation, in the European Secretariat. So, why don't you check out our internship opportunities?
