Implementation
Lawrence Township School District, located in Marion County, Indianapolis, Indiana will be the lead partner in a series of education and participatory activities that teach and encourage philanthropy.
The YPII network and community organizations will parallel this effort during the same time period and enhance young people’s experience by providing complementary philanthropic activities. Parents also will be provided with, and encouraged (through teacher-parent communications, local libraries and PFO groups) to use, various philanthropy resources with their children.
