Leadership, Volunteerism, and Giving |

This document presents
the results of a 10-year (1993 to 2003),
longitudinal study of youth grantmakers from
the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth
Project. MCFYP has been implemented by
Michigan community foundations with the
support of the Council of Michigan
Foundations. The study has been conducted
by Formative Evaluation Research Associates
of Ann Arbor, Michigan. The study's key
purpose is to: contribute to our
understanding of the long-term effects of
engaging youth in grantmaking on their
volunteering, giving and leadership
activities. More broadly, the study is
designed to answer the question: How did the
Michigan Community Foundations' Youth
Project make a difference in young people's
lives?

Engaging Youth |
|
|
 Over a decade ago, the
Michigan Community Foundations’ Youth Project
(MCFYP) began as a tiny seed of an idea—to
involve youth in a meaningful way in
philanthropy and to use community foundations
as the vehicle. We hope you will learn
from our successes as well as our mistakes and
will use whatever you find of value and
relevance to your own situation. While MCFYP
is the oldest community foundation youth
philanthropy initiative, it is no longer the
only one and we still have much to learn from
others worldwide.
