About us

An ASBL at the heart of civic action

Serving adventurers since 1933

The ASBL "Les Auberges de Jeunesse" in Belgium was founded in 1933. Since its inception, the organization has been committed to providing young people, and all travelers, with affordable accommodation that promotes education, encounters and cultural exchange. As a non-profit association, it strives to perpetuate the original values of the Youth Hostel movement while adapting to contemporary needs and challenges.

For a caring society

Because our hostels are much more than just accommodation, we're committed to playing an active role in society and training young CRACS (Citoyen, Responsable, Actif, Critique et Solidaire).

  • Social inclusion: We work to make our hostels accessible to all.
  • Civic education: Programs and activities to raise our guests' awareness of social, environmental and other issues.
  • Local, national and international solidarity: Partnerships with associations to support communities and provide opportunities for inclusion.
  • Intercultural encounters: We organize stays and projects that encourage exchange, respect and civic commitment.
