The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay’s “Philanthropy: Civic Engagement Through Giving Class” has announced that a $10,000 grant will be given to the nonprofit organization “Journey to Adult Success.”.
That organization provides a transitional home for youth aging out of foster care and other opportunity youth and their programming includes individualized coaching for job and transportation support and a range of life skills needed for at-risk youth as they enter adulthood.
The class chose to award this grant after conducting community research in the Green Bay area.
This year, the class has studied the issue of youth who are not working nor in school—also known as “Opportunity Youth.”
Without help, many of these youth go on to become homeless or drift into other difficult situations.
