My name is Nina Minadakis and I act as the Program Coordinator for the Middle East & North Africa region at the International Youth Foundation. As PC, I support the implementation of IYF’s youth economic & civic development program activities, as well as provide technical support to IYF’s partners and field offices throughout the MENA region. Most recently, I have been managing IYF’s Life Skills and Employability project in Palestine and IYF’s Syrian Refugee Employability Program in Turkey, under supervision of the MENA Program Director, including: monitoring day-to-day activities and managing field staff on the ground.
