We will continue to update this space with more information, as appropriate. We are also looking for additional volunteers to help us become even more efficient in our activities and provide transparency and information to all our supporters.

More about YFN

We encourage young adults, especially college and high school students, to come up with projects they would like to work on individually or as a team. If approved, we fund these projects and assist with their administration, at the same time, with the expectation that these young adults will own and be responsible for their own projects.

If you or your friends have project(s) that you want to work on, come tell us and we'll work together to make it happen.
