Within the pages of the Summer ’08 edition of YOU^th magazine you’ll hear from Jordan’s Queen Rania - calling on corporate leaders to support young entrepreneurs throughout the Middle East.  Luis Alberto Moreno, President of the Inter-American Development Bank, tells us about a new economic initiative to invest in Latin America’s most impoverished communities. In a conversation with Starbucks, YOU^th provides insight to the coffee company’s recent decision to support young social entrepreneurs. 

 

YOU^th is the International Youth Foundation’s flagship publication.  The magazine takes readers on a world tour through an inspiring collection of personal stories, interviews, and essays that incorporate the views of leaders in the public, private, and non-profit sectors who are engaged in youth development.  In India, our spotlight examines the challenges and growing successes of an alliance of corporations, governments, and NGOs working to improve education and job opportunities of underserved Indian youth.  In neighboring Pakistan, we hear from a young woman who has just started her first job.  Also profiled is the National Council for Child and Youth Development (NCYD), Thailand’s leading organization on youth issues and one of the nearly 170 organizations in IYF’s global partner network.  And more.

 

The premier issue of YOU^th won a 2008 Wilmer Shields Rich Award for Excellence in Communications from the Council on Foundations.
