Youth Philanthropy Initiative

Local high school students will have the opportunity to explore philanthropy, nonprofit structure, and grantmaking through a new collaboration between Oxbridge Academy and the Town of Palm Beach United Way.

The Youth Philanthropy Initiative at Oxbridge is an 18-week, in-person course designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of philanthropy, social impact, and effective charitable giving. Throughout the program, students will assess community needs, evaluate local nonprofits, and allocate $25,000 in grants to five organizations that support Palm Beach County. The initiative is generously funded by Susan and Bob Wright.
