Turkmenistan Youth and Civic Values Foundation

Description

Founded in 2006 by a group of returned Peace Corps Volunteers from Turkmenistan, the Turkmenistan Youth and Civic Values Foundation (TYCVF) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization headquartered in Shreveport, Louisiana. Our mission is to develop and encourage civic values, international experience, and community engagement amongst Turkmenistan's people. We are the only organization that provides our unique range of programs and educational support for Turkmen students.

We have one full-time employee and a team of more than 80 active volunteers including more than 20 Turkmen nationals, that hail from 25 U.S. States and 10 countries. Our dedicated Board of Directors includes business leaders, international education experts and some of the most preeminent Central Asia scholars in the world. Together we support hundreds of dedicated Turkmen students each year with the opportunities, experiences and resources they need to become educated and civic-minded adults.
