Both governmental and non-governmental organizations may be recognized as an FGYO Central Offices upon request. These may include associations and federations in the fields of child and youth work and adult education in France and Germany, as well as school authorities in France and authorities responsible for education and youth affairs in Germany.
FGYO Central Offices advise and support affiliated project organizers in the educational design of Franco-German and trilateral exchanges, as well as in their grant applications.
They have an annual budget for the management and funding of projects carried out by project organizers or by the centers themselves. They ensure that grants are awarded, used, monitored, and accounted for in accordance with the objectives and guidelines of the FGYO.
