Communist Youth International

The Communist Youth International (KJI) was founded in 1919 as an association of all communist youth organizations in the world. It was a section of the Comintern and existed until 1943. The KJI held world congresses in 1919, 1921, 1922, 1924 and 1935. The consolidation of proletarian internationalism and the solidarity of the young workers against exploitation and war were declared as their goals .
