Our Purpose

The Andrew J. Young Foundation’s mission is to feed the hungry, heal the sick, clothe and house the poor, and set at liberty those who are oppressed in global disputes and humanitarian crises.

Creating Impact that Lasts

FOR A BETTER FUTURE

Founded in 2003, the Andrew J. Young Foundation is dedicated to creating a healthier, more peaceful, and sustainable world through strategic partnerships, innovative technologies, and education.

We work to create opportunities, break down barriers, uplift underserved communities, and drive long-term solutions to feed the minds and nourish the souls for a more peaceful world.

Join us in advancing economic opportunity, global peace, and sustainable progress.

We think it is complicated to change the world. Change comes little by little. Nothing worthwhile can happen in one generation. - Andrew J. Young

We are working to build the Andrew Young International Institute for Peace and Reconciliation in Atlanta with a focus on international relations, conflict resolution, and peacebuilding.

We promote stability, wellness, and prosperity in historically challenged regions in America, Africa and other developing countries. Our methodology relies upon trust building, respect and forging long-lasting relationships to serve communities around the world.
