Welcome

The International Anglican Youth Network (IAYN) has been a key partner in the life of the Anglican Communion for many years, seeking to act as a link between provincial youth officers and young people from across the Anglican Communion. On a number of occasions, notably in 2004, 1997 and 2007 with the support of other partners, it was possible for us to gather young people together to learn from each other's experiences.
