It increases young people’s self-confidence and gives them an additional evidence for the portfolio of achievement.
Youthpass is presently available for those taking part in
- Youth Exchanges

- Youth in the World
- Youth Support Systems (training courses)
A Youthpass Certificate is being developed for Youth Initiatives.
