The AFP Blog: Calling Young Professionals (And Those Young at Heart): "Calling Young Professionals (And Those Young at Heart)
Guest blogging this week on the AFP Blog is the Marketing Chair of AFP’s Youth in Philanthropy Committee Valerie M. Pletcher, MinstF (Adv Dip). Valerie talks about AFP’s collaboration with the Jefferson Awards Foundation Students in Action program and our role in educating youth about fundraising and philanthropy.
