The All-China Youth Federation (ACYF; Chinese: 中华全国青年联合会) is a people's organization founded on 4 May 1949 that represents many youth groups in China, and is managed by the Communist Youth League. Former paramount leaders and General Secretaries of the Chinese Communist Party Hu Jintao and Jiang Zemin were both members.

Its umbrella organization which includes the Young Pioneers of China, among other youth-focused groups.

The All-China Youth Federation also serves as a consultative body to the Communist Youth League.

History

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.
