BUILDING A YOUTH PHILANTHROPY MOVEMENT IN NEW ZEALAND
“Because of the skills the students will learn and the grant dollars awarded, this programme will have a significant impact on real issues facing the Wakatipu.”
“Queenstown’s well known for its pioneering role in adventure tourism, but it’s also become the country’s birthplace for youth philanthropy. Philip Chandler visits Wakatipu High to learn about Generation Give from both students and their mentors”
“Students have started fundraising so that they are able to donate a total $10,000 grant to the chosen charities and organisations at the Spirit of the Wakatipu Awards.”
“Usually philanthropy is associated with older members of the community who might have just sold a business or invented the next big thing in Silicon Valley, but Generation Give is an entirely new approach.”
