The World Youth Foundation, Inc. (WYF), a national non-profit grassroots organization based in Houston, is committed and designed to serve as a developmental vehicle to enhance the positive growth and character of under-represented minority youth. This innovative program is a “mentoring gateway” which delivers effective programs to positively affect the future of our youth an to teach them how to win in life against all odds.

WYF will host its annual World Youth Foundation Seeds of Gratitude event which is a culmination of their Youth Innovative Incubator Program (YIIP), where students throughout the Greater Houston area are showcased for their 12 months of project-based learning for education, college, career readiness and community service impact. This family event will be held on Sunday, August 7, 2022, at 3:00 pm at the Hobby Center (see flyer below). The theme is “Affirming Life- Bravely, Boldly, and Beautifully”. WYF will present and celebrate their student scholars and a student entrepreneurial gift marketplace will be available.

Chairman CEO, Karen Franklin, said, “Our long term dedication to youth is our driving mission and we take the opportunity to be a catalyst that drives their definitive voice and encourage them to dream big!”
