The Brookline Community Foundation is now recruiting high school students who live or go to school in Brookline to participate in the 2016 Brookline Teen Grantmakers Program. This program, which runs on Tuesday nights from mid January to early June, provides a hands-on learning experience that teaches teens about philanthropy and the fundamentals of grantmaking. Participants will learn more about their community, explore personal values, and work together to address issues in Brookline through strategic grantmaking.
Participants gain valuable leadership, critical thinking, and team building skills and have the opportunity to make a positive impact in their community. Since the program’s beginning in 2011, Brookline teens have given $44,000 in grants to local non profits doing important work in the areas of education, arts and culture, job training and the environment.
The application deadline is Friday, December 4, 2015. The application process will also include a brief, in-person interview.
