The Commonwealth Youth Forum (CYF)

The Youth Forum is organised jointly by the Commonwealth Youth Exchange and the Commonwealth Youth Programme.

Among its objectives are the development of young people’s understanding of the Commonwealth and its values; the creation of a platform for young people to contribute to Commonwealth and CHOGM agendas; and the promotion of networking and interchange between young people and their organisations.

The final communiqué from the CYF is circulated at CHOGM and presented to the Commonwealth Secretariat, thereby giving the young people of the Commonwealth a chance to have their opinions heard by the Heads of State.
