Setting young people
free –
We connect youth group leaders in 12 countries, equip them and build new movements. For strong youth group work. Worldwide.
Changing lives. Together and with God.
Millions of children and young people grow up without structures where they can learn community, responsibility and faith. Youngstars International fills this gap: experienced youth group leaders pass on their knowledge where everything is just beginning – and they keep coming back until it works without them.
What began in 2004 as the “Juropa” network is now a worldwide umbrella organisation: 13 organisations in 12 countries – from Switzerland to Cuba, from Romania to Brazil.

From St. Gallen into the whole world: 13 organisations in 12 countries carry Youngstars International – and 60 more countries are in sight.
People who make things happen
First-hand accounts: youth group leaders and partners share what God is doing through their work – every country, every story real.
You make this possible.
Every leader training course in Cuba, every first team weekend in Bulgaria, every new youth group in Moldova starts with people who give. Regularly or once – your support sets young people free.
Our magazine – printed and loved.
Four times a year we bundle the best stories from the network into YI News – printed as a real magazine and sent to our community around the world. In German and English, real and personal.
The current issue 07/2026: when a shared heartbeat sets the pace – teamwork and community in the network.
Some carry more than hands.
Behind every course, every camp and every new country stands a prayer. Become a prayer partner and receive three requests from three countries once a month – short, concrete, straight from the network.
