Friends of IGLYO are organisations which are aligned with IGLYO’s mission but cannot become an IGLYO Member for various reasons, the most frequent one being that they are located outside the Council of Europe (CoE) Region.
To stay united with our global family of young LGBTQI activists, we are building a strong network of IGLYO Friends reaching far beyond European borders.
Friends of IGLYO are invited to take part in a variety of IGLYO online events, open calls, working groups and activities open to worldwide LGBTQI young activists.
What differentiates them from Members is that they do not pay a membership fee, do not vote in the General Assembly, and do not have access to IGLYO activities only open to Members (e.g. IGLYO Grants Programme, IGLYO Annual Members' Conference, etc.) or to participants based in the CoE Region.
By becoming an IGLYO friend you will amongst other:
Does your organisation work on LGBTQI youth rights but does not match all the criteria to become an IGLYO Member (e.g. you are located outside the Council of Europe Region)?
Apply to become a Friend of IGLYO! It's free and without obligation.
