Youth for Technology Foundation
Youth for Technology Foundation (YTF) is an international non-profit organization that works across 6 different countries to create enriched learning communities where the use of technology affords opportunities for disadvantaged people, particularly youth and women. YTF’s programs span across education, civics, health, entrepreneurship, leadership and technology.

YTF was founded by Njideka Harry in 2000. In 2010, Harry was nominated to receive the Microsoft Alumni Foundation Integral Award.

In 2007, the United Nations Volunteer Services recognized YTF as an online team of the year award for its collaboration with and involvement of international volunteers towards fulfilling YTF’s vision. In 2010, the World Bank Fair selected YTF’s Yes, Youth Can! civic program as a winner in the Innovation Fair.
