A giving circle is a group of people who come together to learn, share, and support causes they care about. Members contribute what they can—money, time, skills, or ideas—combine their resources, explore community needs, and decide together where to give. Along the way, they build connections, share ideas, and experience the power of working together to make a difference.
Youth-led giving circles are created and led by young people, for young people. They come together to explore the issues that matter most, learn about organizations making a difference, and take action through giving and service. In doing so, they show that leadership has no age limit, and that their voices, ideas, and actions can create lasting impact in their communities and beyond.
