Across the world, young people grow up separated not by ambition, but by opportunity.
The International Young Leaders Council (IYLC) is a global network of student leaders working to connect youth across cultures through education, leadership, and collaboration. This year, we are partnering with the OSCAR Foundation in Mumbai, India to make a life-changing opportunity possible.
The OSCAR Foundation supports children from underserved communities by combining schooling and structured sports programs to help them remain in education and avoid child labor and unsafe environments. Many of these students are the first in their families to complete formal schooling.
Together, IYLC and OSCAR are organizing an international youth exchange in which selected OSCAR students will travel to the United States to participate in cultural learning and collaborative activities with student leaders. For the participants, this will be their first time leaving their country — and an experience that reshapes what they believe is possible for their future.
IYLC students around the world are fundraising collectively to help cover essential costs such as:
• passports and travel documentation
• visas and flights
• program participation and learning activities
This is not simply a trip — it is an investment in confidence, leadership, and global understanding. When students see what opportunities exist, they return home empowered to mentor others in their communities.
Your donation helps turn possibility into reality. Youth supporting youth — across borders.
Thank you for helping us open doors that education alone sometimes cannot.
