Marin Independent Journal - Mill Valley couple get youngsters into giving

Marin Independent Journal - Mill Valley couple get youngsters into giving: "Dan Siegel and Jenny Yancey of Mill Valley, who have worked in the world of philanthropy and nonprofits for years, were sitting around with their two children one day about seven years ago when their 8-year-old daughter, Weezie, said:

'Why don't you write a book about nonprofits for kids?'

Instantly it sounded like a winner, and the query prompted an organization to help children become philanthropists.

It is called YouthGive, and the name says it all: Kids, from 5 to 15, are learning how to give to those less fortunate."
