The Board of Directors, mandated by the General Assembly to perform the policy making and regulatory role, is composed of 80% of youth aged 15 – 35 years old.
A Secretariat with a team of 12 active volunteer staff and 5 part-time volunteers is charged with the management of the organisation’s day-to-day programs and projects.
