Youth Philanthropy Peer Community
The Youth Philanthropy Peer Community is for members who have an interest or role in youth philanthropy and are looking to build networks and share knowledge. This community explores topics such as youth council facilitation, youth leadership, development, philanthropic opportunities, grantmaking, service projects, and more. Virtual meetings are held quarterly, and a listserv allows community members to communicate between meetings.
About Peer Communities
IPA Peer Communities offer our members ongoing opportunities to connect and learn with their peers with similar job responsibilities, either regionally or statewide. Peer Communities connect members through listserv discussions, quarterly virtual meetings, and on occasion, in-person convenings.
Youth Philanthropy Peer Community Co-Chairs
Each IPA Peer Community has two volunteer co-chairs. Working with IPA staff, co-chairs gather input from their group to determine discussion topics. They also identify resources and advocate for participation from peer community members.
- Jaren Harmon, Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne
- Destany Pingle, Orange County Community Foundation
This program is only open to members of the Communications Peer Community.
