Empowering Youth to Be Philanthropists

Giving is good! We know that giving feels great, and serving others has so many benefits. Youth can enhance their education with fun, hands-on service learning, and gain important skills through a program that engages both mind and heart.

We believe youth have time, talent, and treasure to support our communities, and our mission is to teach them how! We provide your group of 6th-12th graders with $1,000, and they work together to select a local nonprofit to receive the funding, engaging youth in community needs and solutions.

“It shows you how good giving can be and how that’s just an amazing feeling to give back to other people,” Aidan said. “When you actually work with kids and you work with people and you experience that joy of just giving and helping out – that is the real payout for me.”
