What if your gift helped a young person see who they could become—and begin living that possibility today?
Through YLF, young people build friendships with mentors who listen, guide, and encourage by example. They learn to persevere, keep their word, care for others, and put their talents to work.
These everyday choices shape the people they become: family members who love generously, colleagues others can count on, and leaders who serve their communities.
Help a young person cultivate greatness of heart.
Your gift supports 250 hours of one-on-one mentoring, academic enrichment, and leadership experiences, annually in partnership with parents and schools.
Youth Leadership Foundation (YLF) is a 501(c)3 organization (EIN:52-2016259). All gifts are tax-deductible.
For every $1 donated, your community benefits $11.
Mentoring provides meaningful connections that impact not only the mentee but their lives at home and in their communities. Making a difference starts now.
What YLF Means to Our Families and Alumni
30% of YLF families also donate whatever little they can to help parents who can't afford the nominal tuition.
