Bundes Jugend Vertretung (BJV)

The BJV or Austrian National Youth Council is the official and legally established representative body of children and youth in Austria.

Together with our member organisations we are a strong voice for the diverse interests and ideas of young people. Regarding youth issues we have the status of a social partner. This means that we take part in political negotiations on behalf of young people. We work on a number of international projects and we are an active member of the European Youth Forum.
