Summary/Abstract: The youth organisations of Transylvania started either as student organisations,themselves a compulsory extracurricular form of education, or from the confessional or religious affiliation of students. Three important periods can be distinguished in their functioning. The first period is marked by the work on the structures and plans with visions on how to move further. As a response to the need of the youth to belong to a group, several groups have been organised, and a new wave of possibilities appeared with the applications for programs. The other open possibility was that Romania entered the EU. This move takes us to the second period, when due to the applications and capitalism, the work of the youth movements has become competitive. Some of the youth organisations disappeared in this race. In the third period the communication between the organizations has markedly increased. Thus, the youth has opportunity to belong somewhere where they feel in safe, the freedom of acting and thinking, but simultaneously also the responsibility for its future.
