Young Caritas Europa is a movement within the European Caritas network aimed at increasing youth engagement in member organisations and giving young people ownership of their involvement.

The Young Caritas Europa movement is as diverse as is the Caritas Europa network. It varies according to local needs, but always within the larger national and global contexts.
