Governance:

Independent Anonymous Decision Board:
- The Independent Anonymous Decision Board serves as a moral compass and advisory body for FYP.
- The board is composed of five anonymous individuals who are selected based on their expertise, integrity, and commitment to FYP's core values.
- Board members are required to provide at least five references to support their selection and maintain their anonymity.

This decision structure aims to balance the principles of anarchy and decentralization with the need for guidance, coordination, and adherence to core values. By emphasizing autonomy, consensus-building, and moral authority, FYP can create a dynamic and inclusive community that empowers youth to drive change and address the mental health crisis.
