YFU 2024 Annual Report is out!

March 21, 2025 10:53

This 2024 has been a year of dynamic change, reinforcing our commitment to intercultural dialogue and equipping young people with critical thinking, media literacy, and active citizenship skills amid the "Year of Elections". In a period marked by polarization and democratic backsliding, 64 countries encouraged their citizens to vote, while campaigns like "I'm a YFUer, Of Course I Vote!" promoted youth engagement.

YFU’s initiatives extend beyond intercultural exchange programs to foster democratic participation and social change. In our Annual Report for 2024 you can read about the milestones we reached with the support of our passionate volunteer network of over 12,500 engaged individuals across 47 countries, 500+ global staff members and dedicated host families. 2024 saw innovative, new programs and and initiatives taking place, and a Sustainability Focus Group kicking off their work for a more sustainable YFU in the future. 

Key events like the Natioal Director Meeting, International Staff Workshop and the Youth Empowerment Seminar provided opportunities for global collaboration, capacity building, countering polarization and enhancing media literacy. The Annual Report celebrates a year of growth, collaboration, and a renewed commitment to building a more inclusive future, setting a promising stage for 2025.
