Stated Purpose:

Youth INCs mission is to build a vibrant and sustainable youth development sector by strengthening the organizations that help young people thrive.

Youth INC strengthens youth-serving nonprofits by equipping them with the tools, resources, and strategies to overcome barriers, achieve sustainable growth, and expand their impact. We believe that investing in organizations dedicated to youth development is an investment in the future. Our theory of change is that by providing coaching, connections, and capital, we empower youth-serving organizations to achieve and sustain lasting impact and deliver measurable results that improve the lives of young people.

Year, State Incorporated:
1995, NY

Our programs build knowledge of best practices along with the skills and behaviors that move organizations forward. We do this by meeting our nonprofit partners where they are with a flexible set of core programs that target key elements of organizational sustainability. We work with our nonprofit partners through three main avenues of support: Coaching, Capital, and Connection.
COACHING
All of Youth INCs coaching programs utilize a cohort-based model, bringing multiple organizations through a cycle of programming together. This allows for rich peer-sharing and community building. We provide group trainings and individualized coaching to help teams implement strong practices in key elements of organizational thriving:
· Resource Generation: Resource generation strategy and planning.
· Governance & Leadership: Board and senior staff build effective oversight and accountability for growth.
· Impact Evaluation: Measure the SEL impact of work and use data to inform program design decisions.
· Strategic and Operational Effectiveness: Setting a vision, goals, and strategy to drive the organization to a thriving future.
CONNECTIONS
· Advisory: Pro-bono partnerships between corporate and nonprofit partners to leverage business best practices and provide financial, strategic, and organizational improvement.
· Board Placements: Match-making between corporate partner professionals and nonprofit partners boards.
· Partner Network Community: Peer exchange opportunities to strengthen best practices through cohort-based program model and Partner Network-wide events.
CAPITAL
· Grant-making: Capital investments for infrastructure needs key to further growth and development.
· Capital Introductions: Introductions to individuals and corporate partners who are interested in providing deeper engagement and support.
