Revenue model

1. Donations and Contributions: EYP relies heavily on donations from supporters. The Circle of Friends programme offers monthly donations (15 euros/month) or annual donations (180 euro) to support travel and participation expenses of young people who would otherwise not be able to participate.
2. Participation Fees: Most National and International scale events have a small, symbolic participation fee that helps the upkeep of the network. Smaller events may not have monetary costs. Fee waivers are available for those unable to pay.
3. Project Funding: EYP receives project-based funding from institutional donors such as the European Union, German Foreign Office, and E.ON Foundation for specific programmes like Y-RESCUE and Rebuild Ukraine Ambassadors Programme.

Product overview

The European Youth Parliament operates as a unified peer-to-peer educational platform and network rather than a modular software product. Its core offering consists of in-person event-based programs including International Sessions, National/Regional Sessions, and International Forums that bring together thousands of young Europeans annually for civic education. The EYP Member Platform serves as the digital hub for member management, event registration, and network coordination. Supporting offerings include Capacity-building Programs for skill development, an Alumni Network of over 200,000 members, and specialized project programs such as Y-RESCUE (climate action) and the Rebuild Ukraine Ambassadors Programme. The organization functions as a youth-led educational nonprofit with operations spanning 40 European countries through 34-40 National Committees.
