Not a project for young people — a project with them

GreenLink strengthens civic participation, volunteering and democratic engagement by connecting local authorities, civil society and young citizens around shared priorities.

The project promotes volunteering as a lever for solidarity and sustainability, building a European network of towns and associations committed to inclusive, participatory local action.

Our mission: turning civic engagement into a concrete reality for young Europeans — particularly those with fewer opportunities and marginalised communities — using the environment, minority rights and culture as pathways to lasting democratic participation.

Our key objectives

Inclusion

Placing young people with fewer opportunities — half of our beneficiaries — at the heart of the action.

Long-term engagement

Going beyond one-off events through structured six-month volunteering.

Transnational cooperation

Building a strong network between municipalities and civil society across Europe: France, Italy, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Cyprus, Latvia.
