International Chapters

Although NYIF is primarily a U.S.-based nonprofit organization, we are working to expand our outreach and mission of accessibility through a growing network of international chapters. Beginning with our first international chapter in Nigeria, NYIF aims to bring financial education, mentorship, and real-world market exposure to motivated and under-resourced students beyond the United States. We are open to partnering with student leaders globally who share our commitment to making financial literacy more accessible.

Nigeria Chapter

Led by Joseph Anyanwu, our Nigeria chaper of NYIF was our first international chapter and aims to help expand financial education to the youth of Nigeria with the training materials and resources from our organization.
