Youth, I.N.C. improves the lives of kids by strengthening the organizations that serve them. We:
- Organize, manage and finance events that bring nonprofits together to cultivate donors, raise funds, and make new connections.
- Train nonprofit executives to broaden their networks, select and secure fundraising leadership, and raise public awareness of the services they offer.
- Provide daily mentoring to promote organizational success by offering workshops, personalized consultations, strategic planning, and our connections.
- Build established and influential boards of directors who can open doors to corporate America.
Youth, I.N.C. forms long-term relationships with nonprofits and offers training, mentoring, and support through four programs:
Celebration: A yearlong program that empowers nonprofits by offering the training and support needed to frame successful development and marketing strategies. The program culminates in an annual event that provides each organization the opportunity to implement the skills and techniques it has learned through the program.
Board Management & Development: This program provides strategic planning in combination with board member recruitment and placement. Corporate executives also have an opportunity to learn best practices in nonprofit leadership.
Net Gain: A basketball program that provides New York City high school students who lack school gyms with court time, thereby allowing them to participate in varsity athletics. Net Gain uses athletic participation to develop the leadership, teamwork, and communication skills the students need to become empowered young adults.
Strategic Alliance Partnerships: Through this program, Youth, I.N.C. provides board governance education for corporate employees, and links them to a nonprofit that matches their interests or invites them to join Youth, I.N.C.’s Consulting Advisory Board (CAB). This program benefits the nonprofits while actively engaging corporate executives in meaningful nonprofit work.
Urban Institute Report
In 2003, Youth, I.N.C. commissioned The Urban Institute to evaluate our programs. We knew we offered a unique set of efficient and cost-effective services to the nonprofit community, but we wanted to know just how effective our programs were. The report praises Youth, I.N.C.’s contribution to the long-term self-sufficiency and success of nonprofits. The report specifically notes the effectiveness of our "learning by doing" approach and our ability to leverage our corporate relationships to benefit our nonprofit partners.
