Brief History
From the beginning of 1994, non-governmental youth organisations in Georgia made a number of attempts to create national youth councils in Georgia but only succeded in doing so on 22 October 1994. Five months later, the NYC split into two different councils. On 3 September 1995, after negotiations between the two Georgian NYCs, a decision was taken to merge and become one single NYC. This is considered to be the founding date of the national council of youth organisations in Georgia. Today, the NCYOG represents 65 non-governmental youth organisations. Membership is open to any non-profit making, non-governmental youth organisation in Georgia.
