International Youth Ambassadors Foundation IYAF is a non-Profit Organization based in Amman, that serves as an national and international platform that empowers youth to have technical skills and professional capacity to become ambassadors of change in their communities and professional careers through various models of innovation, research, civic engagement, entrepreneurship and Model United Nations (Model Conferences). Our model is based on utilizing minimal operational costs which means that IYAF operates employment through a project based employment scheme. the organization’ network and partnerships are focused in Jordan and reaches countries in Europe, Asian as well as North America. this network includes over 200 active organization members and over 4000 registered network members. Sources of funding include local and international program partners mostly comprising of NGOs and local companies. our main partners are the Royal Scientific Society, representing the youth
Our Mission is to provide youth with opportunities to develop their interests, while sharing and advancing their skills and experience. On the other hand, Our Vision is to affirm, support the youth’s value as a resource, and their ability to influence positive change among themselves and their communities.
IYAF's programs are distributed across four different pillars, they are : entrepreneurship, community development, youth ambassadors and conferences. currently our active programs include IYAFs entrepreneurial consultations and training services, Community Development training partnerships, and the Model Conferences Program.
we view our presence in the ALF network locally as an opportunity to share and expand our poll of members and partners and allow them to explore more of the local ecosystem through the different organizations that each of them would fit in. Additionally, I believe that most directly, IYAF can contribute its network of trainers, spaces and operations to relevant local and international programs.
the ALF network shares many of IYAF's interests in community involvement as well as cross countries and institutional partnerships, this coupled with the network's vast global reach would allow us to put our resources at better use, sharing them with local and international partners as well as learning from their experiences and work.
