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. Our work focuses on underserved communities by providing arts education, character development, intercultural communication and leadership programs that empower youth with skills and confidence to become positive leaders in their communities.
Through creative learning, mentorship, and culturally engaging programming, IYF Manhattan supports youth in developing resilience, collaboration, and real-world skills. These experiences prepare participants for future work force and inspires them to become positive community leaders.
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.
