Structure of IFLRY

The governance structure of IFLRY is made up of multiple overlapping parts. The G3 is the executive team within the Bureau, consisting of Treasurer, Secretary General, and President. The Bureau also includes four Vice Presidents; and so there are seven voting members who are directly elected by the GA. Each regional organisation (LYMEC, CALD Youth, ALYF and JULAC) also has the right to appoint a representative to the Bureau.

Independently of the regional member system, each country is also assigned to at least one region. The regions each have a Bureau Buddy and the contact people for members in each region are part of a regional group chat. This allows closer contact to the Bureau and ensures that members are quickly updated about new information.

IFLRY has many different Programmes which each focus on a particular theme.

In contrast to this, the Office consists completely of paid staff, particularly a full-time Executive Director who is supported by one or two part-time interns or coordinators.
