Resumo: The NGO Association is a nationwide umbrella organization which was founded on November 9th, 2001 with the aim to connect Estonian youth centers from all over the
country. Currently, the association has 77 members with 205 youth centers. Since 2015, the association is EVS and ESC coordinating organization.

The ESC Volunteering Partnership project aims to promote opportunities and improve the quality of international youth work, to develop respect and tolerance, to support social and cultural diversity, and to improve competencies for international and multicultural activities and societal life among young people, youth workers, and community members.

Youth centers have the capacity to work with youth from different backgrounds and be socially inclusive. They are flexible in their activities, introduce different perspectives, and develop critical thinking and tolerance. Youth participation starting from the grassroots level is a key to social inclusion and to mutual dialogue. This is how the future is made.

The youth centers are professional non-formal educational environments providing a diverse variety of services and activities to local young people aged 7-26. Youth centers follow the principles of open youth work- permit
open access to all of the youth, diverse opportunities for leisure time, support for young people, and their ideas, space for socializing, and partnership.
