Watch this virtual information session launching our new strategic framework.

Dear Friends,
As Chair of the Perrin Family Foundation, I am happy to share with you a copy of our new strategic frame-work. Following a history of supporting youth in more traditional direct service programs, we have gradually moved to a more targeted approach to supporting youth in addressing the social and racial inequities in their lives and communities. Our path has taken us from funding programs driven by adults to funding community change driven by youth. We recognize the value, the importance and power of leveraging our resources to amplify young people’s voice and leadership as they create change in societal structures.

As foundations committed to youth voice and leadership, the Perrin Family Foundation, Leever Foundation, Ritter Family Foundation and Nellie Mae Education Fund have shared a deep concern about the stounding absence of young people’s voices in the discussion, discourse, and decision-making happening about them during the COVID-19 Pandemic. So we asked them to be Seen and Heard.

Join us for a virtual information session launching our new strategic framework on Thursday, November 10th 2022, 12pm-1:30pm.
