Hello neighbors! If anyone knows of or works with youth that may be interested in social change and community action planning, see writeup below!! This is a great opportunity for teens!


The Three Rivers Community Foundation is recruiting high school youth to serve as board members this Spring for their Teens 4 Change (T4C) program.  The goal of T4C is to empower youth ages 14-18 to be active leaders in their community.  Fifteen youth will be selected to act as a “board of directors” to  learn about, create, and conduct an entire grant cycle from start to finish and then share what they have learned as grant-makers and philanthropists with their communities.  This program was inspired by The Fund for Santa Barbara’s Youth Making Change program.  The Fund for Santa Barbara is a sister fund in the Funding Exchange, a network of progressive foundations.


Applications are due by November 4th , 2011.  Send completed applications to youth@trcfwpa.org.  Questions about the program can be sent to Willa Paterson at wpaterson@trcfwpa.org or call412-243-9250
