Youth Frontiers Inc

PROVIDE STUDENTS, EDUCATORS, AND COMMUNITIES WITH EXPERIENCES THAT INSPIRE CHARACTER, CIVILITY AND COMMUNITY.

YF'S OVERALL GOAL IS TO SUPPORT SCHOOLS IN BUILDING POSITIVE LEARNING COMMUNITIES WHERE YOUNG PEOPLE THRIVE. SPECIFICALLY, WE WORK TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF YOUTH BY: - BUILDING STUDENTS' CHARACTER SKILLS AND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL) COMPETENCIES. - BUILDING AND DEEPENING STUDENTS' CONNECTIONS TO CLASSMATES, TEACHERS AND THEIR SCHOOL. - DEVELOPING STUDENTS' PRO-SOCIAL BEHAVIOR AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS. - SUPPORTING EDUCATORS IN THEIR WORK TO HELP ALL STUDENTS SUCCEED, BOTH IN AND BEYOND SCHOOL.IN THE LONG-TERM, WE EXPECT THESE OUTCOMES TO LEAD TO SCHOOLS THAT ARE MORE CONNECTED AND RESPECTFUL, AND TO A GENERATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE EQUIPPED WITH THE CHARACTER AND LIFE SKILLS THEY NEED TO BUILD A STRONG FUTURE FOR THEMSELVES, THEIR COMMUNITIES AND THE WORLD.DURING THE 2022-2023 SCHOOL YEAR, THE ORGANIZATION WAS ABLE TO DELIVER OVER 475 PROGRAMS & WORKED WITH MORE THAN 63,000 STUDENTS, EDUCATORS AND LEADERS. BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT YOUNG PEOPLE DO BETTER WHEN THEY HAVE A WIDE NETWORK OF SUPPORT, YF ADDRESSES SCHOOL CLIMATE CHALLENGES THROUGH A MULTI-FACETED APPROACH FOCUSED ON STUDENTS AND THE ADULTS WHO SUPPORT THEM. WE CONTINUE TO DELIVER VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING DEVELOPED DURING THE PANDEMIC. OUR STUDENT EXPERIENCES FOCUS ON BUILDING THE CORE CHARACTER VALUES OF KINDNESS, COURAGE, RESPECT AND LEADERSHIP. THESE EXPERIENCES HELP STUDENTS BUILD SEL COMPETENCIES, SUPPORTIVE PEER RELATIONSHIPS AND SCHOOL CONNECTEDNESS ALL CRITICAL TO THEIR SUCCESS. WE ALSO OFFER EDUCATOR PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO CREATE COHESIVE SCHOOL TEAMS FOCUSED ON THEIR STUDENTS' SUCCESS. THROUGH OUR UNIQUE PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES, WE HELP SCHOOLS COME TOGETHER TO BUILD RESPECTFUL PLACES FOR LEARNING, LEADERSHIP AND GROWTH.
