Now accepting applications for the Wayland Youth in Philanthropy program, beginning this fall
Do you know an eighth grade student who is interested in making an impact in their community and becoming a civic leader? The Foundation for MetroWest is currently accepting applications for their Youth in Philanthropy (YIP) program to take place this winter in Wayland. Applications are due no later than Tuesday, October 15 and are available online at www.yipmetrowest.org. Classes will meet at The Wayland Middle School on Monday afternoons, beginning November 4. Eighth grade students living in Wayland are eligible and welcome to apply.
A unique experiential learning program, YIP, provides participants the knowledge to become engaged and informed civic leaders in our community by learning the importance of philanthropy and the needs that exist in our backyard. YIP also helps local youth develop valuable 21st century skills, including critical thinking, understanding budgets, public speaking, consensus building, and case-making. Ultimately, the group of 20 students work together to evaluate grant applications and distribute funds to worthy nonprofits working to serve youth in our communities.
“YIP is a truly amazing program that has taught me an array of useful skills and has given me a new perspective,” said a recent YIP graduate. “This program has allowed me to have a new and improved outlook on my community and how I can help.”
“I honestly can’t believe how impactful YIP has been in such a short time,” says the parent of a recent graduate. “Our daughter keeps talking about the site visits and has been so inspired by the entire experience that she is now going to volunteer at a non-profit over the summer to learn more about how one operates. Beyond that, the experience of asking questions of the non-profits has given her more confidence and she told us she is raising her hand more often at school!”
Since launching in 1997, the Foundation for MetroWest’s Youth in Philanthropy program has educated over 2,000 students who have granted over $1.2 million to over 200 MetroWest youth development organizations. The Foundation for MetroWest is proud to be running one of the largest youth philanthropy education programs in the country. For more information about the Youth in Philanthropy program, visit www.yipmetrowest.org.
