Emergence of the Youth Led Sector

Foundation staff member Violetta Ilkiw writes about the emergence of the youth led sector, published in a recent issue of The Philanthropist http://www.thephilanthropist.ca/index.php/phil/article/view/810

Here’s her summary: “A number of years ago, I tried to explain to a colleague that there was an emerging youth-led sector and why this was exciting. Today, I believe this so-called youth-led sector is no longer emerging. It is here. Now what are emerging are the inevitable changes that will come to the nonprofit and social service sector as a whole. Through a series of interviews with leaders who provide capacity support to youth and youth-led organizations, this article touches broadly on some of the issues surfacing in the growing youth-led field.”
