Center for Youth Education

The NGO Center for Youth Education (CYE) is a non-profit, non-governmental youth organization founded in 2009 in Podgorica.

Since 2018, CYE has been implementing the European Youth Card (EYC) programme in Montenegro, under the general patronage of the Ministry of Sports and Youth and with the support of the Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation. The organization is committed to long-term youth empowerment through activism, mobility, non-formal education, access to information, and social entrepreneurship, with a strong emphasis on promoting digital and financial literacy.

The European Youth Card (EYC) is a free benefit card for all young people aged 13–29, providing access to over 250 discounts in Montenegro and 30,000 across Europe. The card is available in digital form via the myEYC mobile app, and over 100,000 cards have been distributed across the country since 2018.

The card is equally accessible to high school students, university students, and all young people aged 13 to 29, thanks to strong partnerships with universities, secondary schools, local governments, international organizations, and the youth sector.The CYE team has received five EYCA Excellence Awards since the programme was launched in Montenegro.
