Ignite Youth Inc. (IYI) was founded on the premise that it will aid in promoting families, schools, and communities by building knowledge, skills, abilities, and foster talent in young people. Thus, IYI's programs afford youth the opportunity to be creative in new and innovative ways while at the same time teaching them the importance of giving back to their own communities by way of community ser
vice projects.
At IYI young people will learn the importance of being creative, innovative, and inventive while at the same time learning the leadership qualities and entrepreneurial skills that foster the discipline, self-worth, and tenacity they will need to graduate high school and college, become business owners, compete in the workplace, and/or create the new job markets of the future. With the help of our staff, volunteers, schools, and community partners IYI students will acquire the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to compete in an ever advancing, expansive, and evolving world.
Our desire is ensure that the youth of our communities have access and exposure to various specialized vocations as well as the skills and training required to achieve their goals. Youth that chose to take advantage of and are engaged in any one of IYI’s programs will be motivated and encouraged to become more pro-active, productive, engaged members of society because he/she will have attained the tools and education necessary to achieve in life.
Because IYI recognizes the importance of having strong communities, and we understand that giving back is one of the keys to making our communities just, equitable, sustainable, and stronger our entire organization agree to be actively engaged in our communities. Through partnerships with local vocational schools, community based organizations, local businesses, faith based organizations, and a host of volunteers, Ignite Youth, Inc. is "Empowering the Youth of Today, for a Better Tomorrow!"
