Filipino Youth Leadership Program Organization

What Filipino Youth Leadership Program Organization does

Filipino Youth Leadership Program Organization (FYLPRO), legally the Filipino Young Leaders Program, is a US-based nonprofit founded in 2012 and headquartered in Carson City, Nevada. The organization operates a network of high-performing next-generation Filipino diaspora leaders, with over 120 alumni across 11 immersion cohorts since inception. Its mission is to expand the pipeline of Filipino young leaders in the diaspora, foster collaborative multinational relationships, and support the socio-economic progress of the global Filipino community. FYLPRO reaches its 15th year of operation in 2026.

FYLPRO's core offerings are the signature Immersion Program, a week-long leadership experience in the Philippines delivered in partnership with the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs and Philippine Embassies in the United States and Canada, and Tayo, an innovative data hub launched in 2020 (originally as the Caretaker project) by FYLPRO's COVID-19 Task Force. Tayo collects community data, publishes culturally relevant insights on Tayohelp.com (500+ articles from the inaugural cohort), runs public health research in mental health, heart health, and vaccine hesitancy, and operates programs including the Tayo Help Desk, Tayo Fellowship Program (30+ fellows per cohort), ChatTayo multilingual AI tool, Tayo Youth Advisory Council, and content campaigns such as Mag Vax Tayo and Kain na Tayo. Programs are free to participants.

FYLPRO's revenue comes from foundation and corporate sponsorships (notably Ayala Foundation, Inc.), government partnerships with Philippine diplomatic institutions, and individual donations. The organization distributes its work through website applications, Philippine Embassy channels across the US and Canada, the Tayo digital platform, and community-based outreach including roadshows. Recognition includes the 2025 APHA API Caucus Community Leader Award, the 2025 AAJA AAPI Community Impact Award, the 2026 Community Organization Award from the Filipinx American Studies Section, and two NIH BUILD UP Trust Challenge honorable mentions (2024, 2025). FYLPRO is governed by President Genevieve Jopanda and an active committee structure with Tayo led by Co-Directors Marian Herboso, Olivia Bragitikos, and Joed Garbo.
