IHEYO, the International Humanist Ethical Youth Organization, is a non-profit umbrella organisation and connecting link between Humanist organisations with young members around the world.
We help young humanists (age 18-35) become and stay connected through our programs and annual events.
With regional presence in Africa, Asia and Europe, we currently have around 20 member organisations that in turn create local programs and important awareness of humanism.
IHEYO welcomes all humanist organizations that have young members to connect with us and become our members. We offer two sorts of membership, full membership and associate membership. Join us as a member organisation.
Our events and programs are made possible with help from our sponsors. Help sponsor IHEYO's work.
