The Youth Work Portfolio is a tool that helps individuals, teams, organisations and policy stakeholders doing and supporting youth work around Europe to understand their competence, to develop it more effectively. It can also guide the work of trainers, youth work managers, policy makers and generally all those interested in the topic of quality development and recognition of youth work.

The Council of Europe Youth Work Portfolio has been developed at the European level, but it is not primarily for people and organisations working at the European level or internationally. The Portfolio is addressed to youth workers and leaders working at any level from local to international.

The Council of Europe Youth Work Portfolio is an initiative of the Council of Europe in co-operation with partners such as the European Commission and the European Youth Forum. Read more about why and how it was developed in the section on background to the Council of Europe Youth Work Portfolio.
