ENL offers its member organisations both guardianship and several opportunities for cooperation and development:

• guardianship at both national and local levels

• network, cooperation opportunities and contacts – almost 120 youth organisations (youth associations and participatory assemblies) are involved in ENL to a greater or lesser extent, operating across Estonia and involving thousands of young people in their activities.

• Via ENL, one may find new and useful partners either for a single project or for a longer period of time.

• development activities and a number of trainings;

• counselling and support in daily work;

• various discounts on the services and products of cooperation partners support in publishing information about your organisation;

• chance to participate in projects in abroad;

In order for the information between the member and the ENL office to flow better and the communication to be smoother, each member has a contact person who is a member of the association (management board) or a volunteer who:

• is responsible for the communication between ENL and the association;
• mediates information between ENL and the association;
• represents the association at ENL events (incl. at the general meeting);
• is updated on the activities and positions of ENL and its association.

Guardianship

An important objective of ENL is to represent the common interest of its members and to create a favourable operating environment. Guardianship takes place in cooperation between ENL member organisations, the team and partners.
