About us
Character matters. It's what moves a person to make responsible decisions despite their fears. It's what leads a person to realize that they matter, that others matter and that everyone's actions matter. It's what motivates a person to be a force for good. At Youth Frontiers (YF), we provide experiences that inspire character, civility and community. We envision a future where our next generation of leaders is grounded in character.

From all of us at YF — thank you for your character-driven leadership, Nicole Sullivan!
How are you kind and connect to one another? How do you respect yourself and each other? These are the fundamental questions explored in Youth Frontiers' programming. Julie had the pleasure of sitting down with Nicole Sullivan, the organization's president, to discuss its mission and how it fosters the next generation of leaders through character development. In this episode, Nicole shares how she found her light and passion in her career, crediting her curiosity and drive to impact change. She also emphasizes the important role we all play in modeling behavior for today's youth and how anyone has the potential to be a leader. Tune in below for Nicole's advice for individuals, leaders, and their teams.

"What better way to start your transition to the real world than in an amazing program with a company that has a unique and beautiful mission?" We couldn't agree more and couldn't say it better ourselves. The energy and excitement from our returning program facilitators and new YCorps staff have kept the office quite lively these past few weeks. We still have a few open spots in our YCorps program. Who in your life comes to mind for this type of role? Reach out or share directly!
