Space still available in summer and fall youth programs

At the Foundation for MetroWest, we believe that you don't have to be an adult to take part in local giving. Each year, teams of local youth discover the power of philanthropy when they help us allocate funds to worthy youth-serving organizations through our innovative Summer Institute for Youth Leadership and Youth in Philanthropy programs.

Summer 2016

The Summer Institute for Youth Leadership is designed for middle school and high school students who are looking to make an impact in their community while developing their leadership skills. Similar to our Youth in Philanthropy program, teens will learn how to evaluate local nonprofit organizations, conduct site visits, and work together to award a grant to the nonprofit of their choice!
