Read All Posts
Over the past 25 years, the International Youth Foundation (IYF) has impacted more than 17 million young lives, engaging an expansive community of individuals and organizations in support of our mission.
IYF’s 2014 Annual Report—featured on our newly re-launched website—highlights key milestones in IYF’s efforts to tell a new story of the world’s youth, a story in which youth are potent allies and problem solvers. “Our dominant narrative is one of possibility,” writes IYF President and CEO Bill Reese in the report’s introduction.
Go to the report to find:
- An interactive timeline beginning with IYF’s founding in 1990 and including key initiatives and partnerships launched over 25 years
- Stories of young people who have benefited from our work in nearly 100 countries to equip youth with the skills needed to succeed in school, work, and life
- Videos showcasing IYF initiatives and 2014 Laureate Global Fellows’ social innovations
- Groundbreaking publications and original research documenting youth needs around the world—and proven solutions
At IYF, we have long predicated our work on the belief that there is much more we can do together than alone to address urgent youth needs around the world. The 2014 Annual Report celebrates the contributions of more than 230 dedicated local and global partners, who have joined us in providing youth with the skills and access to opportunities necessary to pursue brighter futures.
