The Youth Board has been organized to educate and increase youth awareness and understanding of United Way, community issues, community resources, and volunteer opportunities. Membership consists of students from area high schools in the Fox Cities. Meetings occur during the school year and are conducted twice a month on Monday evenings. Through listening to guest speakers, involvement in projects and general discussion, Youth Board members explore issues affecting today's youth in our community. The Youth Board conducts its own grants program, reviewing and evaluating grant requests focusing on youth issues. United Way Fox Cities Youth Board members achieve a greater understanding of United Way, the funding process, community issues and the spirit of community service.
