Youth INC http://www.youthinc-usa.org To transform the lives of NYC youth through our unique venture philanthropy model that empowers the nonprofits that serve them.

Since our founding as a 501c3 in 1995, we’ve taken a uniquely holistic approach to address the many different needs of nonprofits, from improving fundraising practices and building boards, to funding critical elements of infrastructure. By applying the best practices from the corporate and nonprofit sectors, we empower our partner nonprofits with the tools to achieve sustainable growth. We currently partner with more than seventy-five youth-serving nonprofits that work with over 300,000 NYC youth each year. We would love to introduce you to our nonprofit partners.

Through Summer Sparks, NYC FIRST partnered with XQ to help incoming ninth graders build algebra skills through hands-on robotics. At South Bronx Community Charter High School, students programmed robots, tested equations, analyzed data, and worked together to solve real-time challenges, turning abstract concepts into something they could see, test, and experience. The program offered students a new way to engage with math while building confidence, collaboration, and problem-solving skills along the way.

Youth INC is proud to partner with organizations like NYC First, bringing innovation and education to young people across our city.

Youth INC brought our Partner Network together for Back2Programs, a space to reconnect, share ideas, and create room for the conversations shaping our organizations and our work.

From AI and technology and fundraising to creative collaboration, nonprofit leaders came together to learn from one another and think collectively about what’s possible.

We also shared Youth INC’s strategic direction for the next five years, shaped by input from our network. Our work will focus on three strategic impact goals: expanding access to deeper learning through Coaching, strengthening Connections across the field, and pairing sustainable funding with capacity building through the Partner Impact Fund.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to the conversation. We’re excited for what’s ahead and grateful to be building it together.

Sustained impact requires us to look beyond programs and invest in the organizations that make them possible.

For funders, that means recognizing operational capacity as essential to impact and creating room for flexible, multi-year investment in functions like finance, development, and data.

For boards, it means looking beyond immediate program activity and asking what conditions allow an organization to deliver sustainably.

For nonprofit leaders, it means treating operational strength as mission-critical work.
Strong organizations are not built apart from impact.
They are what make sustained impact possible.

Krystal Cason explores what this shift can look like across the youth development sector.
