5.6 Supporting youth organisations

Last update: 24 June 2025

Legal/policy framework for the functioning and development of youth organizations

The rules governing the criteria and functioning of youth organizations can be found in the Constitution, articles 3 and 18, and in the legislation on the third sector referred to in Legislative Decree 117/17

Public financial support

The Department for Youth Policies and the Universal Civic Service through the National Fund for Youth Policies finances also activities conducted by youth organizations. About half of these funds are managed at central level, and the remaining at Regional and local level. Pubblic authorities at central and local level launch calls for projects in order to assign the funds. (Cf. 1.7)

Initiatives to increase the diversity of participants

At present, there are no large scale initiatives aiming to increase the diversity of young people participating in youth organizations.
