FNUF is a politically independent umbrella organisation that consists of the Youth Leagues of the Norden Associations' organisations in the Nordic countries and the self-governing territories. 

Structure

Every national organisation sends two representatives to FNUF's spring- and autumn meetings, and this makes up FNUF's highest authority. 

In addition to the meetings FNUF has a working committee (AU) that works all year round planning and executing activities in accordance with the decisions made at the spring- and autumn meetings. AU is composed of three people from different countries: chair, vice-chair, and member. Everyone is elected for two years at a time.

We share secretariat with our mother organisation, the Federation of the Norden Associations (FNF), in central Copenhagen. That is where our Secretary General works, part-time, all year round, with various FNUF-projects.

Last but not least FNUF (and every member organisation) has observer status in the Nordic Youth Council (UNR). This place is taken by a FNUF representative who then also becomes a member of UNR's presidium, along with a deputy. Both are elected for two years.

FNUF's member organisations meet several times a year to network, and get to know each other, get new knowledge and experiences, but most importantly to have fun together!

Spring- and autumn meetings: Take place twice a year in rotating locations for the sake of discussing FNUF activity, co-operation and more. This is where the elections for committee positions and representatives take place.

Café Norden: Café Norden is a yearly event whose host country rotates every year. It is held during a weekend towards the end of the year with some theme, such as young Nordic food, Nordic humour, Nordic languages etc. It is a very attractive event for members of FNUF's member organisations, and is therefore an excellent way to meet other Nordic youths with similar interests. 

Committee seminars: FNUF has recently started organising committee seminars every other year for member organisations' committee members. Each seminar has a different focus that might have something to do with for example new, or even innovative knowledge, new networks and friends in other committees to facilitate co-operation across borders, or an encouragement to experiment and be willing to face new challenges and so forth.

Other things: FNUF also hosts, is invited to, or is co-operating organising several conferences, lectures, workshops, and other Nordic events. FNUF has for example helped organise Nordjobb job- conferences and workshops, taken part in FNF conferences and house warmings, co-organised UNR mingles and been invited to the youth conference of the Nordic Children's and Youth's fund.
