 High
school students in McLean, DeWitt, Livingston and Logan counties are
sought to participate in Youth Engaged in Philanthropy (YEP) during
the 2024-2025 school year. An initiative of the Illinois Prairie
Community Foundation, YEP is a program in which 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
nonprofit group, YEP funds local youth-run and/or youth-oriented
programs. Members will be responsible for developing grant
guidelines and awarding a total of $10,000 to selected youth-focused
programs.
The 2024-2025 school year will be the 12th for YEP. The group will
be limited to 20-25 participants.
The online application is available at https://forms.gle/VoRVzrehvkM27S9C7
