About the organization:
United Way Youth Venture inspires and invests in teams of youth primarily between the ages of 10-22 to create projects, or "Ventures," which inspire lasting social change. Across the nation, we help young people to use their interests and passions to address a problem in the community.
Ventures are completely youth-created and youth-led. Youth involved in UWYV take something that they are passionate about and address a need they see in their community, from building skate parks to starting tutoring clubs. Through the process of launching a Venture, young people learn the important skills of leadership, teamwork, entrepreneurship, and empathy as well as other valuable life skills.
