YOUTHROOTS CENTERS YOUTH VOICE IN PHILANTHROPY

Youth are not only the future, we are also the present. We have a unique perspective on the issues that impact our lives. Research suggests that young people know the issues facing our communities three years before adults. However, there are not many avenues for youth to hold power, particularly in how resources are allocated to meet critical needs.

YouthRoots uses philanthropic leadership programming to bring youth voice front and center of the issues that impact youth lives.

Our programming offer a variety of ways to develop the pipeline of diverse leaders in philanthropy, including:

Youth giving thousands of dollars to community issues while developing leadership skills.

Youth sharing their point of view on critical issues and facilitating youth-driven solutions.

Youth enacting change in the philanthropic sector through a paid internship in a foundation.

In addition to operating direct programming in our home state of Colorado, YouthRoots partners with philanthropic entities around the country to involve young people in the philanthropic process.
