The Assembly of Members meets every year and convenes all the members (groups or national associaions) to study the annual regulations and approve the report and budget of the previous year.
Every four years the Elective Assembly is held to elect or renew the Directive Council.
The Board of Directors (15 members) regulate the decisions made in the assembly and meets at least two times per year.
At its internal election the President’s Council members (President, General Director, Treasurer, Segretary, Advisor) meet with frequency to monitor the enforcement of the regulations. They act through the central operative office, located in Rome.
The groups and associations , effective members of VIDES, are organized at local levels to respond to the concrete demands of the territories on the educative level and to encourage voluntary service experiences from youth.
The Formation Commission is charged with the formation of the volunteers and meets to share the formative criteria.
