World Youth Foundation (WYF) is a national, grassroots non-profit 501©3 organization that serves as a development vehicle to enhance the growth and character of the “Whole Child” – Mind, Body and Character. Chartered in April 1991, our holistic approach develops and cultivates blended learning and evidence-based strategies for disadvantaged and underrepresented minority youth. By applying their “Definitive Voice”, our mission is clear- “Teach All Youth How to Win In Life Against All Odds”. Staying focused on our mission, economic mobility and sustainable resources are provided to students and families.
The innovative model provides a “mentoring gateway “to deliver effective programs designed to positively impact the future of our youth. The organization has been delivering free out-of-school mentoring programs that focus on increasing self-confidence and accelerating educational & professional skills for youth. The number of children directly served by the organization annually is approximately 2,500.
