General Assembly is the YI’s apex decision-making body that consists of all general members. It meets annually in an AGM. The AGM reviews the institutional progress, provides strategic direction and approves work plans and budgets. Once in every two year, the General Assembly elects a new Executive Committee. It provides Executive Committee certain day-to-day policy making mandates and creates special committees for specific assignments, if any. YI continues increasing membership and developing their capacity through in-house trainings and exposure opportunities. New member’s can join YI after getting thorough orientation from YI. . Associate members are those members who are only associated with the YI through its ongoing programs. They are given membership to recognise their contribution and dedication towards YI mission. Associate members have no voting rights and are not eligible to participate in General Assembly's closed session. The tenure of associate membership is for one year.

A total of 11 elected members constitute YI Executive Committee as per the constitutional provision. The Executive Committee is the only authorised body to execute policies, plans and mandates approved by the General Assembly. Democratic culture in organisational leadership is consistently practiced. This feature reflects the dynamic nature of leadership in the organisation.
