Help support innovative, community-partnered, cross-disciplinary research, and training addressing youth equity issues.

Your gift supports projects that work closely with and learn from community members, practitioners, policy-­makers, and young people themselves on issues such as youth wellbeing, homelessness, and educational inequalities. Your gift also supports our student research training program, Youth Equity Discovery Initiative (YEDI), which seeks to meaningfully engage undergraduates in i4Y youth equity research with the goal of building a pipeline of changemakers into future professions addressing the issues youth face in our world today and in the future. The YEDI program allows students to create community, immerse themselves in a creative journey of exploration, find their purpose, and contribute to communities and causes at the intersection of their lived experiences and their dreams for the future. YEDI recognizes the importance of these students' insights and aims to empower them through cascading mentorship, skill-building workshops, professional development opportunities, and a cohort experience. Through both our YEDI training program and our meaningful research work, i4Y's vision is of a world in which all adolescents have access to the structures of opportunity and are free from barriers to fulfill their greatest potential. Please help support our efforts.
