Welcome to the Youth Health & Education
Literacy Programs Foundation
The Youth HELP Foundation, Inc. is a 501 (c) 3 tax-exempt nonprofit corporation registered in Florida and Virginia. We are a global charitable organization whose mandate is to support and empower vulnerable children and young people in maximizing their potential by enabling equitable access to Health and Education Literacy Programs (HELP) and resources. Our Foundation provides grant funding to other nonprofit and civil society organizations to implement HELP programs and provide education resources to young people in keeping with our mandate.
Why is YHF Different?
We take pride in empowering and giving hope to our children and young people to ensure their success as productive persons in societies. Our founders, Stuart Ewing and his parents Dr. Rufus Ewing, Dr. Dawn Perry-Ewing, are passionate about health and education literacy in children and young people because they have lived it and have seen the impact of early interventions. The YHF mobilizes financial resources through donations, fundraising events, and access to federal and other grants. We partner with nonprofits and CSOs to award grant funding and other resources for the implementation of youth HELP programs globally, particularly in small Caribbean island developing states (SIDS).
