THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIP
Philanthropy, Connected
"When you change the life of one young person, you create a ripple that makes the world better. Youth INC, through its venture philanthropy model, amplifies its impact and does a lot more than create a ripple; it creates a literal tsunami."
David Mussafer, Chairman Emeritus and Managing Partner, Advent International
“The community of partners and their ability, peer-to-peer, to benefit from each other’s experience and lean on each other, and also to reach into Youth INC’s resources and capacity-building support is quite unique.”
Mike Arougheti, Co-Founder & CEO, Ares Management Corporation
“We know capital is the fuel that helps an organization take off, providing the resources they need to invest in their own capacity.”
Lauren McCort, Executive Director, Youth INC
