In Europe, 8.3% of young people aged 16–24 have a disability, and half say they face discrimination. But many still cannot join mainstream youth organisations. Not because they don’t want to, but because activities, spaces, or practices are not accessible enough.

With YO-IN, our mission is to help your youth organisations become more inclusive! For that, we use a four-phases methodology:

1. Mapping inclusivity of youth organisation and creating a self-assessment called the “YO-INclusiometer”
2. Building capacities among youth organisations, youth workers, and managers through: quality standards for inclusive youth work, a “A to Z toolkit” to guide youth organisations in becoming more inclusive, a customisable Disability Inclusion Plan (DIP) template for youth organisations, guidelines that will outline the certification process
3. Gathering a pilot group of youth organisations following the project’s certification process. At the end of the process, participants will receive the YO-IN Label
4. Creating a group of certified youth organisations acting as ambassadors for inclusion, sharing experiences and best practices to inspire others
