Youth in Philanthropy
Where will the next generation of philanthropists come from? The obvious answer is from the youth of our country and the world. The same answer applies to the next generation of ethical fundraisers. AFP has an obligation to promote and encourage the involvement of young people in philanthropy and the profession of ethical fundraising. This section of AFP's website is still under construction, so come back often to witness our progress.
