The CRIJ Hauts-de-France does more than just providing youth information - it informes on:

As a Eurodesk multiplier, the CRIJ Hauts-de-France provides useful information and personalised advice about education, internships, jobs, projects and programmes around Europe. The association also provides access to documents and tools to encourage international mobility. Information sessions are organised every month to inform young people about real-life opportunities for mobility in Europe and around the world. These include working holiday visa, studies, professional training in Quebec, and international volunteering opportunities: European Solidarity Corps, international civic service, international work camps, VSI, VIE/VIA and more.
The CRIJ Hauts-de-France is also labelled to send and host volunteers in the frame of the European Solidarity Corps programme.
Thanks to their experience and expertise in the field, since forty years the CRIJ has been missionned by the State and the Hauts-de-France Regional Counsel to provide information to young people and coordinate, facilitate and develop the information network.
