- Organization Profile
Youth Agora vzw is a Brussels-based non-profit organisation active since February 2008. Youth Agora was founded as a response to the growing need of non-profit organisations to strengthen their networks and to improve their communication towards their members and towards Youth in particular.
The founding members started their project as volunteers within the Erasmus Student Network (ESN). They were closely involved in the development and implementation of the ESN-Galaxy project released in 2007. This Galaxy plays a crucial role in the maximisation of the services ESN offers to its members. Since then, the Erasmus Student Network has experienced an exponential growth in active members and activities and is becoming one of the leading student organisations in Europe.
This success story shows how important a properly supported network is for non-profit organisations and Youth Agora believes that the developed knowledge and technology can be considered as the key-elements in strengthening any network.
By targeting organisations dealing with youth information, volunteering, education and research and by using new web-based technologies, Youth Agora’s main aim is to create a unique platform that will ease the search for information and services relevant for the target group.
In a broader sense, Youth Agora strongly believes in the use of open-source software systems to support social non-profit projects. Youth Agora wishes to encourage the collaboration between non-profit organisations in the field of social non-profit projects by promoting active participation and contribution of volunteers.
