Welcome to Youth Line Portugal

Youth Line Portugal is a youth-led, non-profit organisation based in the beautiful seaside town of Figueira da Foz. We are part of the wider Youth Line Family – an international network of youth associations active across Europe and beyond. For the past three years, our Portuguese branch has been the main coordination hub, leading not only national but also international projects.

We strongly believe in the power of non-formal education. Our mission is to support young people, especially those from marginalised or vulnerable backgrounds, by offering them opportunities to learn, grow, and connect. From local sports events and creative workshops to Erasmus+ youth exchanges and training courses, we create engaging spaces for development and inclusion.

One of our most impactful initiatives is “From Ukraine to Portugal”, which has helped more than 11,000 Ukrainian refugees since 2022. We provide support with housing, employment, education, food, and community integration.

We are also proud to run the international project “Gifted English” in Uganda, offering education, food, clean water, and medical care to unparented children.

On the national level, we organise conferences, training events, and youth exchanges in different parts of Portugal. Internationally, we collaborate with organisations in Latvia, Germany, the Netherlands, Greece, and more. In 2022, our efforts in promoting social inclusion through sport were recognised with the prestigious #BeInclusive PEACE Award.

Our team includes experienced youth workers, trainers, designers, community managers, and social workers – all dedicated to making a difference.

At Youth Line Portugal, we don’t just talk about change – we make it happen, with young people at the very heart of everything we do.
