About Young Irish
The Young Irish Fellowship Club of Chicago is a 501©3 non-profit, volunteer-based organization dedicated to celebrating Irish culture in Chicago. Our mission is to bring people together to explore the Irish culture, meet new friends in the community,and help support
Chicagoland charities.
We are a 100% volunteer organization with limited overhead, allowing more than 90% of all proceeds to go directly to the charitable organizations we support throughout the Chicagoland area.
While our events highlight and promote Irish heritage, traditions, and culture, membership in the Young Irish Fellowship Club is open to everyone, regardless of background. For over 50 years, YIFC has proudly hosted Forever Green, the largest and longest running St. Patrick’s Day party in Chicago, benefiting local charities.
