JNM?

JNM is a lively youth movement for children and young people from 7 to 26 years old. JNM is active throughout Flanders and Brussels, where local branches organize activities. In summer, the older youths voluntarily organise a variety of camps for the other members. JNM focusses on three central themes: the study of nature, its management and the environment.

  • Study of nature: we set out with our friends to immerse ourselves into the wonderful world of nature. We let nature fascinate us and are curious to learn more about it.   

  • Nature management: we roll up our sleeves together and offer nature a helping hand where necessary. We remove grass clippings, prune trees or remove exotic plants from natural areas. Fun guaranteed! 

  • Environment: we cook and eat vegan at JNM and travel as much as possible by train and bike. Our planet is important to us, so we learn to treat it with care. Now and then, we also make our voice heard! 

But that's not all... we are, first and foremost, a youth movement! We enjoy games together, make new friends and talk about anything and everything.

Will we see you at a next JNM activity? In case you’re not sure if JNM is what you’re looking for, you can try attending one of our activities a few times before deciding. Also, don’t worry if you don't fully master the Dutch language: we are open to everyone. Just contact us, we’re happy to help!

Being a member of JNM comes with a yearly membership fee. You can choose between three rates. Feel free to pick the rate with which you feel comfortable! Once a member, you can register for all of our activities, which are usually free of additional costs. You will receive our magazine in your letterbox four times a year and a discount in our JNM store.

As soon as your membership fee has been paid, you are welcome to join all of our activities. Start by checking those organized by a local JNM group in your neighbourhood. Feel free to contact the local main responsible of your branch to make further arrangements! You can also contact us at info@jnm.be if you need any further (translating) assistance.
