BACKGROUND
FLY is the umbrella organization of youth and
students -in
Liberia
.
It was established on May 31, 1974 and enacted into law through an Act of
the National Legislature on September 20, 1978. It is charged with the
responsibility of organizing and coordinating the activities of the youth
population of

FLY was initially named: the Urban Youth Council, but was later transformed
to reflect the broad-based representation of Liberian youth. This was made
possible through some of its founding and past leaders: Ambassador Joseph Nyumah Boakai, Vice President
of Liberia; Mr. E. Richmond Draper, Past Chairman, National Board-YMCA of
Liberia; Harold Monger, Director General, Liberia Institute of Public
Administration; Cllr. Varney Sherman, Proprietor,
