There's a place for you to build something here.
However you come in — as a member, a school, a chapter founder, or a partner — you'll be working alongside students who are already doing the work.
See the story behind our current, most ambitious campaign.
We’re working toward a $25,000 goal to help bring six girls to the U.S. for a life-changing educational experience.

Every two months, we pick a new cause.

One cause. Across communities.
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.
“IYLC is unique because it focuses on creating real impact beyond just writing about those issues.”
