All-China Youth Federation

The All-China Youth Federation (ACYF) is a people's organization that represents many youth groups in the People's Republic of China, and is managed by the Communist Youth League of China. It was founded on 4 May 1949. Former paramount leaders and general secretaries of the Chinese Communist Party Hu Jintao and Jiang Zemin were both members.

The All-China Youth Foundation was originally named the All-China Federation of Democratic Youth. It developed because the CCP determined that while it had the Young Communist League to focus on the development of youths deemed politically advanced, it needed a broader-based organization as well. Consequently, it created the All-China Federation of Democratic Youth, which held its first congress in 1949. In 1958, the organization was renamed the All-China Youth Federation.

In 2024, Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council banned its citizens from working at the All-China Youth Federation due to national security concerns.

The ACYF is an umbrella organization which includes the Young Pioneers of China, among other youth-focused groups. It represents many youth groups in China, and is managed by the Communist Youth League of China. It also serves as a consultative body to the Communist Youth League.

The members of the All-China Youth Federation are representatives recommended by member organizations, elected through consultation, and specially invited representatives of young people. The highest authority of the All-China Youth Federation is the National Committee, and each term of office is 5 years. The National Committee has a chairman and a vice chairman. When the National Committee is not in session, the Standing Committee presides over the affairs of the meeting, and has a secretary-general and a deputy secretary-general. The All-China Youth Federation has a secretariat to take charge of daily affairs. The official publication of the All-China Youth Federation is Chinese Children, and it also has an internal work publication All-China Youth Federation Newsletter.
