Members states are invited to provide better resources for and promote better knowledge of youth work. According to the resolution, youth work in the members states should contribute to the objectives in the different action fields of the new EU youth strategy and should pay particular attention to the involvement of children and young people in poverty or at risk of social exclusion.

The Commission is invited to map the diversity, coverage and impact of youth work and include a follow up on it in the EU Youth Report 2012. It should also provide sufficient and appropriate platforms for the exchange of research, policies and practices in the field, contribute to the capacity building of youth workers, the enhancing of the quality of youth work and its recognition through user friendly tools.
