How IYF Partners with Youth
IYF engages young people as co-creators of programs, campaigns, and solutions, building leadership, agency, and problem-solving skills while making sure every initiative reflects youth realities.
Why Funders Partner With IYF
Our partners range from corporate social impact teams to foundation-funded workforce initiatives and multilateral institutions investing in youth capacity. Funders who work with us want more than awareness. They want outcomes they can measure, systems that outlast a single grant cycle, and a partner who understands both the local context and the bigger picture of youth economic opportunity. For corporations, a corporate social impact partnership with IYF delivers measurable outcomes tied to strategic priorities, not just a logo on a report. As a workforce development funder, you get a partner who understands both local context and global scale.
When you partner with IYF, you can expect:
- A track record across youth workforce programs reaching 15 million young people worldwide
- Replicable program models that scale efficiently across new geographies and sectors
- Evidence-based design, backed by published research and rigorous evaluation
- Flexible partnership options, including program funding, employee engagement, and youth grantmaking
