i4Y is a cross-disciplinary, innovative research hub addressing issues of youth inequity through collaborative research, training, youth voice and community engagement.
i4Y catalyzes innovative interventions, practices and policies to improve equity and well-being for youth locally and worldwide.
Our vision is a world in which all adolescents have access to the structures of opportunity and are free from barriers to fulfill their greatest potential.
We are scholars who work closely with and learn from practitioners, policymakers and young people themselves (both in the U.S. and internationally) on issues such as youth violence, homelessness, reproductive health and educational inequalities.
Members of the i4Y team have published across multiple sources on vital topics such as child marriage, youth empowerment and youth homelessness.
i4Y’s work has been featured in an array of news and media outlets, helping to shape conversations and actions in the broader public.
