The International Youth Foundation (IYF) invests in the extraordinary potential of young people. Founded in 1990, IYF builds and maintains a worldwide community of businesses, governments, and civil society organizations—now spanning 73 countries—committed to empowering youth to be healthy, productive, and engaged citizens. IYF programs are catalysts for change that help young people obtain a quality education, gain employability skills, make healthy choices, and improve their communities. 

With funding from The Starbucks Foundation, through May 2016, the International Youth Foundation (IYF) is implementing BADIR, an innovative initiative designed to equip young Jordanian leaders with the knowledge, skills, and abilities they need to strengthen and scale up their social change projects. Offered in both Arabic and English, BADIR will provide the young leaders with social innovation skills and management training to help them strengthen and expand their projects. Through the initiative’s Innovation Fund, participants will be eligible to receive a monetary award. BADIR’s intent is to strengthen the youth leadership sector in Jordan through investment in young leaders who are creating significant impact in their communities.
