Mission Statement
Over the past 25 years, The International Youth Foundation (IYF) has impacted the lives of more than 17 million young men and women, enabling them to become financially independent and contribute to revitalizing their communities.
About This Cause
The International Youth Foundation (IYF) is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering today’s young men and women to be productive, engaged citizens. We invest in the extraordinary potential of young people because of the world’s 1.2 billion young people between the ages 15 to 24, over 50% of this critical population are ill-prepared to earn a livelihood and unable to contribute back to their communities. IYF programs are catalysts for change that help young people obtain an education, gain employability skills, make healthy choices, and improve their communities. For example, Hamza went from being one of the 44 percent of Palestinian youth who are unemployed to the proud owner of Al Noor Poultry Farm in the Palestinian city of Hebron. After completing a university degree in engineering and spending a year trying to find a job, Hamza enrolled in IYF’s Youth Entrepreneurship Development (YED) program. Hamza received life skills training followed by thirty hours of entrepreneurship instruction and support and is one of a hundred Palestinian youth to start businesses since 2012. IYF builds and maintains a worldwide community of individuals, businesses, governments, and civil society organizations — now spanning 70 countries — committed to empowering youth to be healthy, productive, and engaged citizens. Together, we are creating ripples of change that will last for generations to come.
