Working with donors to benefit the community through grants and scholarships since 1929.

Do you know a current eighth-grade student at a Jefferson County school who would benefit from a different kind of summer camp experience?

A new Community Foundation summer Youth Philanthropy Experience is set to take off in July with up to 17 rising freshmen who attend school or reside in Jefferson County. 

Applications are now being accepted from students entering ninth grade this fall to attend a weeklong summer program to learn about philanthropy and how they can positively impact their communities. 

Students will be accepted on a rolling basis until the program is full. Visit nnycf.org/summer-ype to obtain an application.
