As the 2015 EU Youth report shows, nearly all Member States took measures in previous years to counteract the growing social exclusion of young people in Europe. In this regard, most states aimed to improve young people’s access to quality services through enabling the development of organizations working with young people. The present proposal is submitted by a Consortium formed by FDSC, CNVOS and ENNA, three genuine representatives of the civil society sector in Europe whose scope from the very establishment was to offer professional support for strengthening civil society organisations in view of developing the communities and society at large. The consortia designed in this respect a proposal that answers directly challenges and needs identified for organizations working with young people, namely a poor organizational development, in particular coming from a lack of inside democratic practices, weak membership base, limited focus on strategic planning and promoting effective management, un-sustainable resource base.In this sense, the proposed project comes to address the need to provide for organisations working with young people opportunities to develop their professionalism in order to better assist young people with fewer opportunities in Europe and proposes a specific and tailor made intervention towards improving their capacity development. The direct target groups envisaged for this project are youth workers, staff and members of organisations working with young people in Europe. We envisage having as direct beneficiaries at least 150 organisations and their respective staff from Slovenia and Romania and at least 100 organisations working with young people from EU-28 countries. The project proposes a data collection on practices of organizations working with young people with fewer opportunities in Europe, in order to identify their organizational development approaches. Based on this mapping, the consortia will produce a European report which will show the status at European level and what concretely is done by NGOs in respect to their organizational development. Based on the outcomes of the report and the previous results of the partners involved in the consortia, there will be created a European toolkit for organizational development for youth NGOs working with young people with fewer opportunities. The toolkit will include working instruments that are easy to apply and adapt for any youth organization that wants to enhance its organizational development. Once the toolkit is available, the partners will develop a training curricula designed for a better implementation of the toolkit, which will be disseminated in pilot workshops at national level in Slovenia and Romania in order to capacitate youth organizations towards a better inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities. Through this project the partners expect and aim for an increased organizational development of youth NGOs to meet their mission and also for a better understanding of practices in organizational development used in countries of the European Union. As a long term-effect, the participating organizations will become more accountable towards their stakeholders (beneficiaries, donors, staff, members etc.) and will be more equipped towards providing quality services to young people at risk of poverty or social exclusion, ultimately contributing to their inclusion in society.
