Our Mission

The American Youth Foundation inspires people to discover and develop their personal best, to seek balance in mental, physical, social and spiritual living, and to make a positive difference in their communities and in the wider world.

Who We Are

AYF programs welcome people to discover their own best self, the richness of living a balanced life, and the power of creating inclusive, caring communities. Thousands of youth engage in programs year-round at our beautiful properties in New Hampshire (AYF Merrowvista) and Michigan (AYF Miniwanca). People from across the country and around the world come to our facilities for community and school programs, summer camps and leadership conferences. Our programs inspire individuals and groups to put their best into action and make a difference in big and small ways each day. We are a nonprofit youth development organization, whose mission has provided the foundation for all that we do since 1925.
