Join the European network of young
democracy changemakers
We’re working to create Europe’s largest network of young students and professionals committed to fighting for democracy in this hard times. While we keep making progress before its launch, you can reach out to us with your ideas and suggestions to hello[at]palumba.org or find us on social media.
Do you lead a youth organization?
Let’s work together to keep understanding & engaging the next generation of voters.
Step 1: your previous engagement
Becoming a member of Palumba.org entails a series of rights and duties, since members are the ultimate owners of the organization according to our nonprofit model. It is for this reason that only volunteers with some degree of previous engagement with us (even if small) can apply for membership.
Step 2: fill the form
Unsurprisingly enough, we have put together a short form to express your interest in joining. There are just a few questions about your background, interestests and time availability to contribute to the organization.
Step 3: short interview
After you submit your application form, someone from the Board of Directors will get back to you typically within 1-2 weeks. We’ll have a short interview to understand better your expectations and maybe even discuss what’s next in terms of work. If you don’t hear from us, please reach out to hello[at]palumba.org
Step 4: welcome!
Thank you for joining the community of bold democratic optimists! We can’t wait to start working together in new projects. Note: members pay a small annual contribution fee.
