[20] The modern incarnation[citation needed] of the All-Polish Youth was founded in Poznań in 1989, on the initiative of Roman Giertych, the former leader of the League of Polish Families (LPR).

[25] As it was later determined, during the private party Leokodia Wącek was not a member of the organisation and the main Polish television channel Telewizja Polska apologized to All-Polish Youth for accusing them of neo-nazi connotations.

All-Polish Youth have been widely condemned as homophobic by various organisations including Amnesty International,[29] Human Rights Watch,[30] and even the United Nations (which, in their Universal Periodic Review, describes All-Polish Youth as an "extremist homophobic grouping"),[31] as well as a multitude of gay rights organisations such as OutRage!

It states that it recognizes God as the highest of all universal principles and deems the Catholic Church as the nation's mentor and the only way of pursuing holiness.

Members of the All-Polish Youth highlight the purported need to ensure due respect to the Church, as well as its position within the State.

The organization advocates for the development of the Catholic State of the Polish Nation which should "become a pillar of the Western culture based upon Christian principles".

The All-Polish Youth considers the notion of a nation to be understood as "a community united by faith, history, culture, land, speech, and customs, to be the most prominent of the earthly values".

[36] The All-Polish Youth perceives the state as a necessary form of social coexistence, which politically engages the nation's members, and argues that its improvement should be permanently cared for.

They claim that culture should be "a spiritual right of the nation's life and a proof of spirit's superiority over materiality and that it shall be cared for and maintained as such".

In terms of economy, it approves of common private ownership and denounces buyout of national wealth by foreign capital.

According to its statute, the All-Polish Youth is a community-minded organization aimed at rearing its members, most of them being high school or university students, using nationalist and Catholic virtues.

In 2021, far-right activists and groups from Hungary, Estonia, Belarus, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, USA and Portugal joined the event and joined the "Nationalistic Column" formed by Polish far-right organizations and movements, including but not limited to: "Trzecia Droga", "Szturmowcy", Autonomiczni Nacjonaliści, the National Radical Camp (ONR), All-Polish Youth, National Rebirth of Poland (NOP).

The All-Polish Youth publishes their own magazine titled Wszechpolak (a word formed from the organization's name, referring to an active member of it) and runs their own web portal Narodowcy.net.
