About Us
We’re a nonprofit youth development organization that engages thousands of youth year round through community & school programs, summer programs, and leadership conferences at our beautiful properties in New Hampshire (Merrowvista) and Michigan (Miniwanca).
The American Youth Foundation inspires people to discover and develop their personal best, to seek balance in mental, physical, social and spiritual/reflective living, and to make a positive difference in their communities and in the wider world.
The AYF’s motto, ‘My own self, At my very best, All the time’ is the framework for discovery and growth within our programs. One of the most powerful aspects of AYF programming is the intentional creation of communities, where young people feel welcome to be their own self, where they are encouraged to discover more about who they are and what they are capable of. It is here, in our beautiful locations and set apart from their typical routines, where our participants are given the opportunity to experience a change of pace, engaging both with the natural world and the growing communities around them.
Our site is located at 147 Canaan Road, Center Tuftonboro, NH, 03816
