Who we are
FYEG is the European umbrella organisation for Young Green organisations from all over the continent, from Azerbaijan to Ireland and from Cyprus to Norway. Our member organisations comprise various backgrounds: local ecological groups, student unions, youth wings of Green parties and Green Youth NGOs. In addition, we are also the independent, official youth wing of the European Green Party (EGP).
Our organisation is run by a voluntary Executive Committee, the Editorial Board of Ecosprinter (the FYEG online magazine), and the members of our working groups.
The Committee and the Editorial Board are elected by our Member Organisations once every year. Anyone can join our working groups without having to be elected.
In addition, a Secretary General is elected every two years. The Secretary General works in the FYEG office in Brussels alongside our staff.
