Unpacking Youth Philanthropy Resources to Equip & Empower YACs & Youth Advocates
Join us for a deep dive into two resources for youth philanthropists and advocates.

Together we will explore how to use the guidebook while providing time for feedback to ensure it is an effective and helpful tool for advisors.
