counties are sought to participate in Youth Engaged in Philanthropy
(YEP) during the 2022-2023 school year. An initiative of the

high school students learn about philanthropy by allocating grant
funds to local nonprofits.
YEP provides opportunities to build leadership and teamwork skills
while engaging participants in a unique, philanthropic experience. A

programs. Members will be responsible for developing grant
guidelines and awarding a total of $10,000 to selected youth-focused
programs.
The 2022-2023 school year will be the 10th for YEP. The group will
be limited to 20-25 participants.
