Our work focuses on?
Youth Leadership
Elevating Youth Voices on Issues that Impact their Lives
Youth Leadership 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.
