HISTORY
The Youth Life Foundation of the Triangle (YLFT) began as an Outreach Program of Kings Park International Church in Durham, North Carolina in 1996. The program started as a community based summer reading program located in the predominately African-American Cornwallis Road public housing community. One year later, the program formed a partnership with Durham Housing Authority to develop a year round academic program. YLFT established learning centers and grew in enrollment when the after-school academic & mentoring program began assisting participants to achieve academic success beyond the levels historically achieved by community residents. In preparation for replicating these programs across the Triangle area, YLFT restructured with a Board of Directors comprised of representatives across local church leaders, business leaders, legal representatives and educators. In 2002, the organization incorporated as a 501 (C) 3 non-profit Youth Life Foundation of the Triangle, and as the first affiliate of the national Youth Life Foundation, founded by former Washington Redskins Defensive Back, Darrell Green.
