About IYAD
The International Youth Assembly for Dialogue (IYAD) is a non-governmental, non-profit organization led by youth (under 30). We empower young people through diplomacy, humanitarian service, and meaningful dialogues, fostering leadership and advocacy skills aligned with United Nations principles.
We offer professional, inclusive, and transparent opportunities for young people to learn, lead, and make a significant impact locally and globally through Model UN conferences, dialogue programs, capacity building, and humanitarian outreach.
Mission
IYAD exists to serve as a platform which provides young people with training and empowerment to create positive change through their work in global dialogue and humanitarian efforts and sustainable development initiatives. IYAD uses integrity and inclusivity and accountability as its core values to create solutions which match United Nations standards and Sustainable Development Goals and turn discussions into continuous international progress.
Vision
The goal is to raise a generation of youth who will become responsible global citizens through their ability to convert discussions into actual humanitarian work while they support sustainable development and work toward creating a fairer and more inclusive and stronger society.

IYAD Humanitarian Outreach Program
Youth-Led Impact
The IYAD Humanitarian Outreach Program functions as a community service program which provides direct assistance to people who need help. The program conducts essential humanitarian work through its food distribution operations, the distribution of educational resources, and its support for local shelters and underprivileged communities. The program started its operations in Manila and Jakarta and plans to grow through partnerships and volunteer work. The organization aims to create sustainable humanitarian impact which extends beyond its current capacity to conduct dialogue.
Community Engagement
The organization establishes direct communication with local communities through which it will facilitate its needs assessment process and build trust relationships.
Project Development
We develop projects by engaging with communities and witnessing their development, ensuring our initiatives are relevant and impactful in complex global contexts.
Partnership Building
Forge partnerships with humanitarian organizations, local NGOs, and community leaders to maximize the distribution of aid and resources to communities in need.
Focus Areas:
  • Food distribution and basic needs support serve as the foundation for Food Security
  • The Education Support program provides learning materials together with academic assistance for students
  • The Community Care program provides support to shelters while helping neglected and underserved communities
  • The Youth and Volunteer Engagement program works to engage young people in service activities which create positive impact for their communities.
