The main objective of YATA was defined as creating and strengthening the dialogue and understanding between the youth of NATO member countries, PfP countries and the observer countries.

More specifically, YATA will work for the creation of national youth organizations in the ATA countries missing them, for the expansion of youth involvement to promote increased regional cooperation, and to facilitate the contact and dialogue between its national affiliates. 

YATA is today composed of nearly 30 national youth chapters, and is one of the strongest and most influential youth NGO networks in the world. Aside from all of the activities organized by the national chapters, YATA has (since 2002) created a web page, developed two internet forums for debate and information exchange, and organized several regional and international conferences. YATA members have been engaged in dialogue with the decision-makers of the world, including George W. Bush, Colin Powel, Gerhard Schröder, Tayyp Erdogan, and many more. In this sense, YATA has been playing its role as the Voice of the Civil Society. This is largely based on the philosophy that the development of world politics should not only be up to the governments and diplomatic elite, but should also involve the civil society.
