Youth Philanthropy Board
-Glenview, Illinois-
After seeing the success of other nearby communities using the TPI model, a few champion residents in the community decided they’d like to bring this approach home. This year, they are implementing their program with their first Junior cohort of 28 wonderful youth members, and they plan to have this cohort grant $10,000 to local nonprofit organizations this year during their grantmaking cycle. They are looking to engage as much of their community as possible in the program, whether that be as mentors, students, guest speakers, or donors, and are incredibly excited to get it off the ground. We can’t wait to see the growth they are able to make in their first few years, as we are sure their passion for community engagement will pay off!
