(Nov. 20, 2006) The first-ever Youth in Philanthropy (YIP) Summit, hosted by AFP on Nov. 12-14, produced numerous ideas and strategies for bringing organizations from across North America together to encourage young people to get involved in philanthropy.

Representatives from 30 national and regional organizations from the U.S. and Canada involved in youth in philanthropy training attended the summit, along with 10 outstanding high school and college students whose ideas and leadership added considerable depth to the process. The summit, which was by invitation only, marked the first time that so many leading youth organizations had come together to discuss ways to collaborate in their programming and education."
