Youth Grantmakers was created to empower youth to address issues that are important to them by participating in grantmaking.Through this program our young people become active agents of change, preparing them for responsive community leadership and practical hands-on service.
During the 2017-18 academic year, Youth Grantmakers across our two-county region strengthened their leadership skills as they participated in philanthropy. They conducted surveys to determine the current concerns and needs of their peers, attended site visits of local nonprofit organizations, listened to nonprofit presentations during their monthly meetings, conducted community service projects and awarded grants to nonprofits that address the needs of youth in their community. During their year-long training, students learned to read and analyze a grant application, respectfully debate the most critical needs while learning to listen to others’ perspectives, and prioritize the many worthwhile requests.In 2017-18, all four Youth Grantmakers programs have been working hard discussing community issues and identifying projects to benefit local youth. Here’s what they’ve been up to!
