Unique Aspect: Youth Community Fund members (high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors) participate fully in the grantmaking process as Youth Evaluators. They read applications, meet with agency representatives, complete evaluations, and make funding recommendations. This allows young people to directly shape funding decisions impacting their communities.
