YCI is the only development organization in North America with an explicit focus on youth in all aspects of our work - we involve Canadian and American youth volunteers overseas, we develop the skills and abilities of youth in developing countries, and we advocate for youth rights and involvement in development decision making.

We depend on your generous support to continue doing this work. While we are strongly supported by the Canadian International Development Agency and other large government and foundation donors, over half of our funding comes from the general Canadian public.
