Seniors from high schools within our service area serve for one year on the Youth Philanthropy Council of the Greater Lynchburg Community Foundation. Students are nominated to this program by faculty and staff of their respective school.
They are responsible for granting $10,000 or more to a deserving local charitable organization that services the needs of youth in our area.
