The Main values of Mladí zelení are: equality, social justice, the fight for an environmentally sustainable society, animal rights, LGBTQ+ rights, participative democracy, and youth activism.
Politically, Mladí zelení are only partially affiliated with the Czech Green Party. This, however, was not always the case – this looser relationship between these two organizations is the outcome of the annulment of a mutual memorandum of cooperation in 2019. Membership in Mladí zelení is not conditioned by membership in the Green Party.
Mladí zelení are a member organization of the Federation of Young European Greens. Before an internal schism occurred in the organization in 2019, they were also a member of the czech organization Asociace mládežnických organizací, and a partner organization of the Cooperation and Development Network Eastern Europe.
