International Young Naturefriends (Youth NGO)
IYNF is an international organisation bringing together Young Naturefriends and their organisations across Europe. It was established in 1975 and currently has 18 member and 14 partner organisations. With more than 120.000 young members organised in over a thousand local groups, it is one of the major European youth organisations.
The fundamental reason for IYNF’s existence – or what we jointly want to become – is an international network to connect and inspire Young Naturefriends for living values of respect, solidarity, equality, sustainability and love and care for nature.
