The Teen Impact Fund is looking for energetic and dedicated students who are interested in serving their community.

The Teen Impact Fund is a program that provides students in Mecklenburg County with leadership skills in philanthropy and civic engagement. Each year the Teen Impact Fund is entrusted with up to $10,000 to decide which youth serving agencies to award grant funding to. The yearlong program brings together a diverse group of students to participate in team building exercises, educational sessions and outreach activities. Connecting teens who care to causes that matter is the heart of this initiative.

Potential participants must be between the ages of 14 and 18 years old and be a high school student that lives or attends school in Mecklenburg County.

There is no financial obligation to participate and no previous experience is required.

Applications are available online via the Teen Impact Fund webpage http://www.fftc.org/Page.aspx?pid=880.  All applications must be received by May 10, 2013.
