YC2 is a youth philanthropy program offered to juniors and seniors from Hinsdale Central High School, Lyons Township High School, Nazareth Academy, and Riverside Brookfield High School. Curricula encourages students to explore our local community and its social needs; learn about philanthropic theory; and engage in organizational evaluation and grantmaking.
Students will review grant applications from local organizations, conduct site visits, and at the end of the semester-long program, award up to $30,000 in foundation funding to nonprofit organizations that further the mission and vision of Community Memorial Foundation.
