Texas Co-State Director
Growing IYLC's Texas chapter and speaking about Teen2Teen.
“I’ve really enjoyed challenging myself to get out of my comfort zone as a leader and speaker. Seeing people interested in Teen2Teen and the other aspects of IYLC made me truly excited for the future and growth of our club.”
Members in action
The OSCAR Foundation campaign is one example of IYLC members turning a shared global initiative into action in their own communities.
We’re working toward a $25,000 goal to help bring six girls to the U.S. for a life-changing educational experience.
The current campaign
Donations go straight to the beneficiary our members are currently campaigning for — no matter the size.
Donate to the current campaignIYLC does not hold or handle donations. Gifts to this campaign go directly to The OSCAR Foundation through GlobalGiving.
Campaign dispatches
Young leaders across IYLC are taking our current OSCAR Foundation campaign into their own communities — finding their own ways to fundraise, advocate, and bring others into the effort.
From our chapters
IYLC members bring the organization into their own schools and communities through student-led chapters.
Contact
Nonprofits, schools, embassies, and international institutions are welcome to reach out about partnerships, speaking, or hosting an Embassy Talk. Students with questions about joining or starting a chapter are welcome to reach out too.
