RYS offers experiential, service-learning projects with a special focus on developing personal leadership and peacemaking skills. Through living together and providing altruistic service within a community, people demonstrate that it is possible for our global human family to live together in peace and co-prosperity.
IRFF's work covers many areas of social concern. Major projects emphasize the areas of (a) healthcare and nutrition; (b) education, including general literacy education, vocational and agricultural education; and (c) immediate relief after catastrophic events.
IRFF also sponsors seminars, public information programs, and training sessions to educate the public about humanitarian needs, the reality of relief work worldwide, and how to develop service programs in one's own community.
