According to the Act on Volunteering, inclusivity is defined as one of the fundamental principles of volunteering in order to ensure equal conditions for volunteering, with a special emphasis on the inclusion of members of socially excluded population groups, with the aim of their inclusion in society and social empowerment.

While social inclusion is defined as essential, there are no government-led initiatives or program for promoting of inclusivity of different populations (youth included). The promotion is mostly done through Agency for Mobility of and EU Programmes, Croatian Volunteer Development Center, or local volunteering organisations.

Tackling societal challenges
