The IYO is the Italian American Youth Organization. Founded on November 10, 2004, this association was created to celebrate, promote, and maintain Italian and Italian American culture among young people. Our mission is to be both a philanthropic association and social heritage club.
We have two main goals. The first is that we strive to ultimately give back to the community in the form of scholarships, financial support to charities, and community service. At the same time, our second goal is to retain our Italian and Italian-American cultures in all aspects, such as food, music, customs, traditions, and most importantly, our values.
