The Barcelona Youth Council (CJB) is the inter-associative platform that coordinates and represents the main youth organizations in the city. The CJB was born in 1980 as a democratic instrument of participation and youth action, to promote the growth of a strong and articulate associationism. The CJB defends associationism as a tool for participation and fundamental action, which must be disseminated and strengthened, especially among the younger population.

The entities are structured in eight areas of participation: Trade union action, Social action, Educational, Cultural and exchange associations, Student and university world, Political organizations, Territorial youth platforms and Youth service providers. Referent of territorial coordination: The participation of young people in neighborhoods and districts is promoted as a form of direct involvement in the life of the city and in municipal politics.
