This guide is for you if you dream of starting your own nonprofit organization to give young people in your community better opportunities, but don't know where to begin. Or perhaps you're already part of a youth-serving charity and you simply need a few pointers.

The “Pack What You Need To Succeed” poster is a great reminder of all the intangible things youth need to carry with them every day: Inner Strength, Support, Goals, Vision, Responsibility, Protection, Direction, Education, Patience, and Basic Needs.

In this guide to keeping the doors of youth-serving nonprofits open in good times and bad, NCFY has collected many of its original articles on financial management and fundraising.

From organizing fundraisers to cleaning up parks, groups of young people in every city and town across the country are engaged in both national and grassroots efforts to enrich their neighborhoods, their schools and their futures.
Though they may not know it, these youth embody a philosophy embraced by many community members and policymakers: Positive Youth Development.

Across the country, thousands each year are affected by large-scale disasters, from wildfires to floods to hurricanes. Disasters can also occur on a smaller scale, caused by everyday events such as power outages, kitchen fires, or burst water mains.
While most disasters are impossible to predict, you can plan for them and reduce disruptions in your services to youth and families.
