    Goals / Remit

    The European Youth Information and Counselling Agency (ERYICA) is an independent European organisation, composed of national youth information co-ordination bodies and networks. ERYICA’s role is to foster co-operation in the field of youth information work and services; to develop, support and promote quality general youth information policy and practice at all levels; and to ensure that the information needs of young people and the principles of the European Youth Information Charter are respected. Youth information and counselling services provide high quality guidance to young people and help them make informed decisions to lead their lives constructively. The main goal of these services is to promote young people's active citizenship, to support their access to rights, and to enhance their autonomy and active participation in society. In 2022, ERYICA obtained the ECOSOC Consultative Status of the United Nations.
