In 2017, Youth Philanthropy Connect (YPC) and the Youth Philanthropy Initiative of Indiana (YPII) partnered to host a 4-part webinar series designed to support next-gen leadership and giving opportunities. This webinar series featured national experts and youth philanthropists highlighting topics of meeting facilitation, diversifying youth programming, successful media strategies for sharing your story, and top resources on youth philanthropy.

Hear from program leaders at Learning to Give, which has over 1700+ FREE lesson plans you can easily plug into your programs! Dig into service with Youth Service America (YSA) by checking out their grant opportunities, volunteer campaigns, toolkits, and facilitator guides.

The 2017 YPC/YPII Youth Philanthropy Webinar Series incorporates the Youth Philanthropy Initiative of Indiana’s 4-Pillar Youth Philanthropy Model of serving, giving, leading, and engaging to explain the progression youth take from caring within their families to engaging others in their communities. Participants of youth-serving organizations will receive real-world examples and resources they can integrate into their out-of-school learning time.
For breakfast, I had three cups of coffee, Bran Flakes with strawberries, blueberries, and almond milk, and Siggi’s strawberry and lingonberry yogurt.
