Our Program
We use a unique 3-step philanthropic process to teach teens the skills to make an impact
We kick off the year by diving deep into the most pressing issues facing children and youth in our local communities. You’ll get to interact with a Panel of Experts with decades of experience in changing the world and make the final decisions about what issues your group will focus on. Past issues include poverty, education, and mental health.
Next you’ll get to expose the community to the work your team is doing by meeting with professional movers and shakers and putting on creative fundraising events. You’ll learn the essentials of giving a meaningful Fundraising Pitch and start bringing in the big bucks by meeting with professionals in the community who are looking to contribute to the most pressing issues. You’ll be an expert in these needs!
This is where all the hard work pays off! You will decide as a team which nonprofits are doing the best at meeting the community needs and give away 100% of the funding raised to these organization. You will help provide much needed services to at-risk youth who may otherwise not receive them. This program helps you develop leadership skills while changing the world!
