Story County Youth Philanthropists Overview
The mission of Story County Youth Philanthropists (SCYP) is: "Youth providing support to our community through grants and service while learning lifelong philanthropic skills and attitudes." The group consists of high school students interested in learning about and actively participating in philanthropy. SCYP members learn about community needs, create a grant application and funding priorities, grant $5000 to Story County non-profits, and plan and participate in service and fundraising projects. Through this process, members gain leadership skills, learn about needs in our community, and are seen as active, responsible citizens of Story County.
