Mission
The mission of International Youth Fellowship Manhattan is to support the growth and well-being of young people and families in New York City-especially in underserved communities-through
arts education, character development, and leadership programs.
​
Through creative learning, mentorship, and cultural engagement, IYF Manhattan helps youth build resilience, collaboration, and practical skills. These experiences prepare young people for the
future workforce and encourage them to contribute to a positive, prosocial community.
​
Through The Hub, our keystone location in the Bronx, IYF Manhattan provides a safe and
welcoming space where youth and families can learn, create, and build a hopeful future.
Vision
IYF Manhattan envisions a community where all young people have access to arts, mentorship, and opportunities that develop creativity, strong character, and leadership.
Through these experiences, youth gain the skills and confidence to succeed in school, contribute positively to their communities, and build meaningful futures.
