The YIFC plans to share its mission by hosting regular events for an ever increasing membership throughout the Chicagoland area while targeting activities and developing an infrastructure that allows the organization to raise over $50,000 in charitable funds each year.
The Young Irish Fellowship Club has over 3,000 general members throughout the Chicagoland area, 350 of whom have "Emerald Member" status. Members range in age from 21-39+ and come from different ethnic and social backgrounds. You don’t have to be IRISH to join the YIFC! Everyone over 21 is welcome to join!!!

About me: For over 25 years, the Young Irish Fellowship Club has been raising money and has had a great time doing it.
The Young Irish Fellowship Club of Chicago is a 501(c)3 non-profit, volunteer-based organization inviting people of all ethnic backgrounds to explore the Irish culture, meet new friends in the community, and help support Chicagoland charities.
We are an entirely volunteer-based organization* with limited overhead, with well over 90% of our proceeds going directly towards the charities we serve. While we promote the Irish culture with our events, our club is open to all people of every ethnic origin.
*Please note this is a 21 and over club.
Who I'd like to meet: People who are dedicated to the cause. The YIFC is committed to service. The YIFC not only supports local and national charities through financial assistance but we also lend support through volunteerism. We invite you to get involved as well. There are many charitable organizations that would appreciate your help, so contact the YIFC Vice President of the Charitable Committee at charities@youngirish.com or feel free to contact us with a message or comment below.
