Information Providers

The website youthwork.gr provides basic information about Youth Work in Greece. It constitutes an initiative of the Hellenic Youth Workers Association, a professional association composed of employees, staff, and volunteers in the youth sector, aiming at the promotion, recognition, and scientific documentation of youth work.

The European Network Eurodesk operates as a key information mechanism for young people and those working with youth, providing access to European and national information on studies, training, employment, volunteering, youth exchanges, rights, and mobility opportunities. In Greece, Eurodesk is implemented through the Youth and Life-long Learning Foundation.
