ROCKLAND - How many 16-year-old boys know the organizational and budgetary structures of area social service agencies?

Danji Buck-Moore of Rockland does.

Buck-Moore and two other teens participated in a program in which they awarded $5,000 in grant funds to local groups fighting poverty and hunger.

The Partners in Philanthropy program is run by Youthlinks, a Rockland nonprofit dedicated to working with 11- to 17-year-olds.

The philanthropy program was created by the Ellsworth-based Maine Community Foundation, which provided the $5,000 for the teens to distribute.
