Our History

Since our founding in 1990, IYF has evolved alongside the changing needs of youth worldwide. We remain rooted in our commitment to putting young people first—adapting to what works, learning from challenges, and proving what’s possible when we invest in the leaders of tomorrow.

Our Partnerships

For 35 years, IYF has worked hand-in-hand with companies, schools, and youth-serving organizations to create programs that deliver impact—for young people and for our partners. From global corporations to local nonprofits, our partnerships are built on trust, shared goals, and a deep understanding of what it takes to drive lasting change.
