Teen Impact Fund Seeks High School
Students to Serve Community
The Teen Impact Fund is look
ing for energetic and dedicated
youth interested in serving their
community. The program is
designed to help teens learn about
philanthropy, engage in team
building activities, and identify
community needs.
Developed by the Foundation
For The Carolinas, the Teen
Impact Fund provides ways for
young people to take action on
issues that they care about with
money entrusted to them by the
Foundation. It allows them to also
be an advocate for the Jewish
community. The Foundation for
the Charlotte Jewish Community
is a supporting organization of
Foundation For The Carolinas.
After a ten-month training peri
od, Teen Impact Fund participants
are entrusted with a $10,000 pool
of funds, and the teen’s award
grants to programs that address
challenges facing today’s youth.
Potential participants must be
14 to 18 years old and be a high
school student in Mecklenburg
County. There is no financial obli-

gation to participate and no previ

wonderful experience and looks
great on a college admissions
application. However, space is
limited.
