Rooted in the belief of youth as problem-solvers, change-makers, and leaders, our initiatives are catalysts for change. For more information, please consult www.iyfglobal.org.
PURPOSE OF ROLE
The Program Coordinator provides critical technical and operational support to IYF’s US-based and global youth development programs, particularly those focused on workforce development, education and training, learning differences, youth leadership, and economic opportunity. This role ensures the smooth execution of day-to-day program operations, including administrative, logistical, and partner coordination tasks.
In addition to supporting program implementation, the Coordinator contributes to IYF’s business development efforts by assisting with proposal development and related tasks.
