🔵 Youseline Cherfilus, MPH
Founder & Executive Director, Youths in Need Foundation Inc.
I am a public health professional and community advocate with over 25 years of service at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. My work in epidemiology, health education, and data management has deepened my understanding of the challenges faced by families and youth in underserved communities.
Driven by compassion and a desire to create lasting change, I founded Youths in Need Foundation Inc. to ensure that financial hardship never limits a young person’s education or growth. Through scholarships, mentorship, and essential resources, I lead our mission to uplift youth and transform lives—one child at a time.
