Our Vision
A nation in which young men of color are overrepresented in higher education, underrepresented in the criminal justice system, and leaders in their communities.

What Alumni Say
Phillip Mitchell
Valley High School ’16 | UC Santa Barbara ’20
IYT gave me more than just college tours—it gave me a community. I still remember bonding with brothers and mentors on our first camping trip; that’s when I knew IYT was something different.
