The Liberal Youth Foundation (LYF) will render support to young liberals from around the world to participate in international events, particularly for those facing financial obstacles. We are happy and proud to announce our first opportunity to apply as an individual! In relation to the upcoming General Assembly of the International Federation of Liberal Youth (IFLRY), LYF will support the participation of one or two individuals to attend the event in Sofia from 22nd until 24th of March, 2019.

Application requirements

  • Motivation letter, highlighting your commitment to the liberal cause and your experience with liberal organizations; your expectations for the Sofia event; and, your ideas on how to bring back the experience to your local organization. 500-700 words.
  • A detailed budget, including the amount requested from LYF, and potential other sources of income
  • CV (maximum two A4 pages)
  • Reference letter(s)

Please submit this to mail@liberalyouthfoundation.org by 21 February 2019, 23:59 CET. Make sure to also register via the IFLRY registration link before that deadline, and indicate you are in the process of applying for LYF support.

Expectations

  • 100% attendance during the GA and potential preparations as described by IFLRY
  • Become engaged with the LYF network
  • Potentially be featured on our website and social media
  • Commit to an activity to bring back the experience to your local organization (preferably something that can be shared or referenced via our social media channels)

LYF will be able to partially or fully refund your costs. This means you would need to present receipts of all costs before receiving the refund.

We aim to create an LYF network of alumni of this international liberal stipend programme that allows young people to attend an in-person liberal event. This network will connect young liberal activists that might be facing similar challenges, and get them closer to the global liberal family.
