History of AYO

ASEAN Youth Organization was initiated and founded in 2013 by Senjaya Mulia from Indonesia. This initiation arose because Senjaya was part of the ASEAN Community Facebook Page, an online platform managed by youths from ASEAN countries and shared about ASEAN Cultures.

In 2018, AYO received the ASEAN emblem and name authorization from the ASEAN Secretariat and established the AYO Social Enterprise (AYOSE) in Indonesia (Headquarter) and 2 branches in Philippines and Singapore. AYOSE established other arm’s organizations to support its sustainability: AYOAcademy, AYOEnviro, AYORecent, and AYOPost.

Your Vision, Build Us!

Senjaya Mulia, was born in a rural area in Semarang, Indonesia in 1989. With his young age in 2011, he moved to Thailand for study and joined an online ASEAN Community Page managed by diverse young people in ASEAN. In the year of 2013, he initiated the establishment of the ASEAN Youth Organization (AYO) and got supports from some of his friends. In 2015, he registered the organization as foundation and 3 years after that, he also registered the AYO Social Enterprise to support the organization’s sustainability.

Today, AYO operates in All ASEAN Member states and become the largest youth network in ASEAN and beyond. Under the AYO Social Enterprise, Senjaya and his team also established other institutions such as AYOAcademy, AYOResearch Center, AYO Enviro, and AYO Post.
