There are some who seek to make a difference. There are some who seek to change the world. Is this you? Are you sitting on an idea that you feel can create a positive impact in your community or beyond? Are you developing a project but just cannot get it started due to lack of support? IYPF can help you!

By successfully applying to become an IYPF-approved member project, you will gain support from the IYPF Implementation Team. Your designated member contact will liaise with you, providing a connection to a network of skilled people and partner organizations. Often, too, ideas for sourcing funds can be provided.

IYPF has worked with projects such as the Barefoot Power in Australia, Papua New Guinea and Fiji, Basics for HIV/AIDS Control Project in Uganda, and Empowering Youth for a Better tomorrow in Zambia. Although these projects vary in their focus, they are all aligned with the IYPF values and vision of a global community of young professionals creating a better world for current and future generations through local and global action.
