Supporting Partners
YFC was established by nonprofits that realized we must work together more systematically to address multiple, linked challenges facing low-opportunity communities, with limited resources. The siloed approach is no longer working.

Working Together
Together, we created YFC to manage fund development, operations, marketing, volunteer coordination, and policy, on behalf of dozens of nonprofits that work to support young people and families in distressed and low-opportunity communities. YFC meets the most important needs on behalf of its member nonprofits, including:
