Mission


Liberal Youth Forum (LYF) is a movement of individuals, informal groups and formal associations collaborating to create access and choice in social, cultural, economic, political and environmental spheres for a freer India

We commit ourselves to the creation of a society where every citizen enjoys the basic human rights to property and livelihood, living life with dignity and personal responsibility.

 

At LYF, We believe that the youth of today can make this happen by being aware citizens and participating in finding solutions for a freer India.

 

 

Activities

 

LYF  was successful in having a pan-India outreach in the first six months of its inception by working in 3 regions with our regional partners. 269 young people were added to the LYF network through three local-level projects in a span on 3 months.

 

All activities on the chosen national theme of the year were supported by LYF and funded by FNF were on the chosen national theme for the year: Citizenship Rights.

 

History with the Foundation

LYF has no political affiliations as an organization, and are currently operating with the support of the Friedrich Naumann - Stiftung für die Freiheit.

FNF indeed has pioneered in establishing and supporting a unique organization like LYF which is taking its first steps. The entire team would like to thank FNF for its support.
