Youth Defending Life and Family Values Around the World

The International Youth Coalition (IYc) offers a forum for young people to discuss today’s most controversial topics and challenge cultural norms that undermine the dignity of the human person.

Through their writing talent and outreach, IYc members make their case in defense of conservative values and their relevance today.

Our Blog

Our youth-led blog features insightful articles written by young conservatives living in different parts of the world, revealing how pro-life and pro-family values resonate and manifest in a myriad of cultural contexts and regions. We publish writings in English, Spanish, and French.

Community

Defending pro-life and pro-family values as a young person can oftentimes feel isolating. The IYc fosters a sense of community among our contributors through virtual events, coffee hours, and an online messaging platform.

Resources

We provide weekly updates on the most recent UN developments pertaining to the pro-life and pro-family movements. Our commitment extends to consistently sharing news, events, volunteering opportunities, and other valuable resources to help advance our mission.

Parent Organization

The IYc operates under its parent organization, the Center for Family and Human Rights (C-Fam). The Center for Family and Human Rights (C-Fam) is a community of public policy professionals that bring interdisciplinary research and analysis to inform the international social policy debate. Since its founding in New York in 1997, C-Fam remains the only pro-life and pro-family organization working exclusively on international social policy.

C-Fam conducts, promotes, and publishes legal and policy research analyzing timely issues in international relations, development and humanitarian assistance, law, medicine, political philosophy, and security studies.

“As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.”
