YIP programs are for high school students (grades 9 – 12), with the exception of middle school students in Concord. Students will have the option of applying to YIP via written application or video. Students can select their application preference after completing the contact information portion of the application, below.

While we do our best to match students with their first program preference, students will be considered for both programs indicated. Be sure all programs indicated are a good schedule fit prior to selecting them as a location preference.

*The Foundation is able to provide minor accommodations to students who learn differently. If you have questions regarding program accessibility for your student, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Alyssa Berkson at [email protected].

Thank you for your interest in Youth in Philanthropy! We look forward to reviewing your application. Applications must be completed by the student wishing to partake in the Youth in Philanthropy program.

Once our mentors and teachers took a step back, it was really eye opening to see what we could accomplish on our own and everything that we did as a group.

This is what I love about YIP. A single conversation can lead to the start of change in a community, as I was lucky enough to witness this past year. YIP has given me so many amazing opportunities to meet other young philanthropists and change-makers that I would never have met otherwise.

The idea that my daughter can get hands on experience and learn about what a nonprofit is and what it's like to be a part of one is amazing. The Youth in Philanthropy program is done so thoughtfully.
