Young Organization, also known by the acronym YO, is an international non-profit born in Brussels with an ambitious yet essential goal: to unite and strengthen the role of new young generations – particularly young people aged 14 to 28 – by offering them tools, spaces, and opportunities to grow, express themselves, and make a real impact on society.
Young Organization is not just an association, it is a growing community, a catalyst for talent and ideas. It is a starting point for those who believe that young people deserve not only a place in the future, but the power to build it.

The meaning behind our logo
The visual identity of YO – Young Organization is inspired by the mythological figure of Atlas, the Titan condemned to carry the sky on his shoulders for eternity. A symbol of strength, duty, and resilience, Atlas represents the burden and the privilege of bearing the weight of the world.
In our logo, this image is reimagined for today: it is the new generations who now carry this responsibility. They hold both the burden and the honor of shaping the future of Europe and beyond.
Our symbol is more than just a graphic mark: it’s a message. A call to young people not to stand by, but to step up as active builders of change.
A special thank you to the talented artist, and dear friend, Luca Barrel (@luca.barrel) for turning our vision into a powerful symbol, with creativity, passion, and meaning.

Young Organization is guided by a diverse and committed team of young professionals, academics, and change-makers who share a common purpose: empowering the next generation to lead global change. Our governance model reflects our core values -transparency, inclusion, and innovation – while our board of visionaries brings strategic guidance, institutional partnerships, and fresh ideas to every step we take. Together, we shape a future led by youth, for youth.
