Teens Active in Grantmaking
Members of the Community Foundation’s TAG committee learn about philanthropy and community foundations, develop critical thinking and leadership skills, and enjoy the opportunity to practice philanthropy.
Through hands-on volunteerism, committee members engage with the community, understanding the importance of service and giving back. They gain mentors in the Foundation’s staff, volunteers, and board members, fostering connections that inspire future philanthropic efforts.
This experience not only enriches their personal growth but also strengthens the bonds within the community.
We look forward to sharing more information about this exciting new program soon.
