Teen Philanthropy Initiative
—Naperville, Illinois—
The Teen Philanthropy Initiative in Naperville, Illinois, is another of our newest programs. Founded this year, in 2023, this program was created because of the spread of excitement coming in from other nearby TPI Affiliate program communities, one of their mentors even came directly with experience from another TPI program. Sponsored by Kids Matter, a nonprofit organization aimed at the healthy development of all young people in the community, they will be attacking this year with a great deal of experience and support.
Primarily engaging students from the Naperville area, they have accepted 31 students from 6 local high schools who will lead their first foundational year, hoping to set future cohorts up for continued success.
“The students and parents and I are so excited about this program and the learning that will occur!”
