The Estonian National Youth Council (ENL) is a partner for the Estonian government that represents the interests of youth organizations. In 2011, ENL had 57 member organizations and advocated for better youth program funding. ENL coordinates several working groups on issues like youth policy, public relations, and regional/local youth councils. ENL achieved several goals in 2011, including establishing a legal requirement for youth councils in all local governments and conducting comprehensive background checks for all youth workers. ENL also organized leadership training, conferences, and the annual International Youth Day celebration for youth organizations.
