The American Youth Foundation dares people to discover and celebrate the very best in themselves and others, inspires them to explore diverse perspectives and complex challenges, and emboldens them to live courageously, engaging their full capacity.

On the shores of Lake Michigan and in the mountains of New Hampshire, AYF programs are designed to encourage participants to develop a deeper understanding of who they are and what they are capable of achieving- their own, best self. Diverse activities create opportunities for young people to assess their strengths, identify areas of growth, and stretch their minds, bodies, hearts, and spirits. When youth come together to create AYF program communities, they gain a greater understanding of their impact on the people around them. Participants are called to reflect on their actions and impact, gaining a greater understanding of the positive difference they can make for others.

At the AYF, we value
- Investing in Youth
- Stewarding the Environment
- Enkindling Inner Sparks
- Belonging in Community
- Growing Together

 "My own self, At my very best, All the time."
