NYCYF events provide opportunities for Youth Funders to network, share lessons learned, explore new challenges facing New York City youth, and examine the City’s philanthropic and public response to these issues. The network also creates venues in which local funders can learn from youth programming, research, and policy experts, both locally and nationally. In addition to in-person meetings, NYCYF uses diverse vehicles including webinars, conference calls, LIST-SERVS, and policy briefs to communicate with its constituents.

The New York City Youth Funders, Philanthropy New York, and The New York Community Trust invite you to attend this briefing for private and public funders.

- Share strategies for engaging all young people in disadvantaged communities, particularly those living in New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) developments
- Hear from nonprofit leaders and policy makers about how they are working to engage young people as meaningful partners in community change
- Discuss how philanthropy can support these efforts
