Frequently Asked Questions
The Consejo de la Juventud de España is made up of its member organizations. In order to participate in our activities, assemblies and trainings you must be a member of one of these entities. Here you can see the complete list of entities and choose the one that best suits your needs, concerns and preferences.
No. The Youth Council of Spain is a private corporate body, which fulfills the public function of representing the interests, rights and claims of Spanish youth before public administrations and institutions.
No. Although many political youth organizations and party youth formations participate in the CJE, the Spanish Youth Council is a neutral and consensual space whose arguments and lines of action are decided democratically in our assemblies.
The CJE is an independent corporate body, however, our funding is public. The majority of our funding comes from the Spanish Youth Institute (INJUVE), which reports primarily to the Ministry of Social Affairs and Agenda 2030.
No. Injuve is the autonomous agency for the coordination of public youth policies and depends on the Government of Spain. The CJE has spaces for dialogue, coordination and collaboration with Injuve to represent youth.
En 2014 con la aprobación de la conocida como «Ley Cora» o Ley 15/2014, de 16 de septiembre, de racionalización del Sector Público y otras medidas de reforma administrativa, se cierra el antiguo Organismo Autónomo Consejo de la Juventud de España para reducir el Sector Público Estatal, cumpliéndose esta medida con la aprobación de los Presupuestos Generales del Estado en 2018. Como consecuencia ese organismo público deja de existir y se crea el nuevo Ente Corporativo de Base Privada Consejo de la Juventud de España, que es independiente de la administración pública y que se organiza por el ámbito privado. Con este cierre el Instituto de la Juventud de España se subroga los derechos y deberes del antiguo organismo autónomo, por lo que son ellos quienes pueden emitir los certificados de servicios prestados en el ámbito público.

No. The CJE is not an administration and does not call for subsidies or grants. We are present in the commissions of some ministries to represent the associated youth or we are part of the evaluation commissions of the National Agency of the Erasmus+ program and the European Solidarity Corps, but we do not give grants. We only support youth organizations through our Training Plan and the resources for entities that we generate.
