Membership in InterCity Youth is open to:
- Municipal departments in Council of Europe member countries responsible for youth work
- Networks of such departments
Since municipalities and their administrations are differently structured and organized through out Europe and that, due to this fact, youth work has both different names and positions within these structures and can be integrated in other units, the term “municipal departments” should not be taken too literary. Membership in the network is open to any kind of unit within a municipality that handles youth work, regardless of its name or formal position in the municipality concerned.
Having departments as members also means that the membership is not personal.
“Networks” is here understood as a group of departments from different cities/municipalities with a formal agreement on cooperation around youth work issues.
As member the organizations must:
- Stand behind the document Common grounds and intentions.
- Pay the annual registration fee of 500 euro.
