Programs for the road ahead.

IAF programs help young people meet immediate needs while building the skills, relationships and confidence needed for lasting independence.

Nine Programs, One Direction

Meet the need now. Build the skill for later.

Every program does both: it answers something urgent today and leaves a young person more capable of handling it themselves tomorrow.

Speakers Bureau

Youth-informed, for the people who want to help.

Good fits include

  • School and district staff development
  • Employers exploring youth hiring and retention
  • Faith and community organizations
  • Service providers and community partners
  • Civic groups and funders

Tell us your audience and the time you have — we will shape the session around it.
