Thank you for your interest in the International Institute’s Young Friends Board!

The International Institute of St. Louis is our region's welcoming center for new Americans. These newcomers expand the richness of St. Louis’ diversity and help spur our economy. The Young Friends is a distinct group of individuals with diverse backgrounds and skills between the ages of 21 and 40 who work together creatively and passionately to further the work of the International Institute. The Young Friends is led by the Young Friends Board.

The Young Friends (YF) is guided by these four goals:
1. Create awareness within the St. Louis community of the International Institute’s mission and programs.
2. Partner with local organizations, businesses, and civic leaders to broaden the Young Friends' network.
3. Connect with and support International Institute clients, staff and volunteers.
4. Increase development efforts through fundraising and increasing the work and membership of Young Friends.

Please submit responses to the application questions below and email a current copy of your resume to the Young Friends' e-mail inbox at YoungFriends@iistl.org by Friday, November 15th.
