All members, including the board of seven people (president, two vice presidents, two regional representatives and two board members), are volunteers. Sources of funding are donations, membership fees, project grants and sponsors. The Club "The House" is also a representative of Young European federalists (JEF) in Latvia and a member of the Youth Council of Latvia. The main activities are projects, seminars, lectures, camps, competitions about Europe’s topics with the aim to encourage young people to be active citizens of Latvia and EU. Our partners are youth non-governmental organisations in Latvia and other countries, JEF sections, state institutions (e.g. Ministry of Foreign Affairs), European Commission, European Parliament information office.
The mission of the organisation is to popularize the idea of a united Europe, to promote democracy, tolerance and human rights while informing and educating youth. The main aim is to achieve that youngsters find out more about European institutions, about European culture, history, traditions, sport, social and political processes.

The most important projects in last two years were hosting 4 EVS volunteers, trainings about European Parliament elections and informal education, street actions about NATO and Europe Day, photography exhibition “Europe in Latvia”, exchange with Belarus.
