The Youth and Philanthropy Initiative (YPI) is an inclusive, multi-award-winning secondary school program that strengthens the social purpose sector by engaging youth in social issues, local charities, and grant-making.
Now, more than ever, we see and feel the need for communities built on compassion, empathy, and care for one another.
Watch our intro video! FYI: YPI
We connect teenagers to the people and problems that matter in their own communities, in real life, in real time. We challenge them to understand social issues and their root causes, to meet in-person with local charity professionals working everyday to make our communities better places, and to stand up, with and for people who are marginalized, by researching and delivering a 10-minute pitch in support of a $5,000 grant for a local charity.
YPI's extraordinary short and long-term impacts are made possible by connecting a massive network of secondary school students, teachers, charity professionals, and donors across the country.
We have a growing waitlist of schools for places in the program. We are asking donors across the country who believe that social progress depends on an informed, caring, connected public, to join YPI's network - thousands of Canadian students, teachers, and charities who participate every year - and help us drive support for immediate community needs, while creating the conditions for lasting social change.
