Through the Battle Creek Youth Alliance Committee’s work in philanthropy, we have discovered the challenge and importance of engaging a diverse population of young people in our program and grantmaking. This has been accomplished by creating a fun and engaging atmosphere that is open to different lenses to capture the interest for all youth involved.  We will share our lessons learned in outreach and marketing, informed by a community needs assessment. During this session, you will practice making meaningful connections to help you spread philanthropy and positively impact your communities.

You can’t build tomorrow’s future together, if you’re not truly together!
