Mongolian Youth Development Foundation (MYDF) is non-governmental, non profit making organization with major emphasis on providing youth development programs in Mongolia and working to assist Mongolian youth in their development into active members of society, by providing social, educational, cultural and physical activities.

The MYDF works in cooperation with the Mongolian government and other Mongolian NGOs, as well as with foreign governmental and non-governmental organisations for the welfare of Mongolia's children and youth.

The MYDF is run by a combination of permanent staff and volunteers. The majority of our staff is aged between 21 and 28 years old. By involving young people in the decision-making process of our activities, we ensure that the MYDF addresses the issues that are most important to Mongolia's youth.

The very root of MYDF has began since 1997 with the Mongolian Youth Development Centre (MYDC) through its various programmes that addressed for assisting the young people of Mongolia through the process of transition between childhood and adulthood, to enable them to become fully participating members of the community. The MYDC helped young people to develop them to their full capacity and to be confident individuals in the rapidly changing and developing world. In the year of 2004, MYDC developed into Mongolian Youth Development Foundation (MYDF), with additional and broader vision for strengthening youth and youth development organizations in Mongolia.
