Programs
How students lead.
Every IYLC program is designed and run by young people, with structure and partnerships behind it.
Teen2Teen Healthcare Videos
A producer team of students creates healthcare education videos designed for other teenagers, distributed through our outreach leads in India, the Caribbean, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Uganda, and beyond.
Evidence
A growing, searchable library of student-made episodes — screened for KNOSK students in Kuje, Nigeria, with discussion afterwards.
Fundraising Campaigns
IYLC selects a different beneficiary every two months. Members ideate the campaign, run the outreach, and raise funds for healthcare, education, and multicultural projects in nations affected by war, poverty, or lack of access.
Evidence
Current campaign: a $25,000 goal with The OSCAR Foundation to bring six girls to the U.S. for an educational experience.
Global Outreach Partnerships
We partner with organizations already working on the ground so that student energy is matched with local expertise.
Evidence
Partners across India, Nigeria, Jamaica, and the wider Caribbean — OSCAR, KNOSK, CRY, EWCF, Talent Mine, YFDN, and CMETT.
Chapters & State Directors
State Directors and school chapters extend IYLC into their own communities, running local fundraising, recruitment, and education work under the council's umbrella.
Evidence
A student leadership network of state directors, international outreach leads, and chapter directors across more than seven countries.
