15 Forever Program
The 15 Forever Program is a youth civic engagement, leadership, and grantmaking program of The Community Foundation. The intention of 15 Forever is to address the needs and concerns of Boulder County youth from a youth perspective. Each year 15 Forever will grant $15,000 in grants to programs focused on the youth of Boulder County. The 15 Forever Advisory Committee will be formed annually for a school-year term by fifteen youth leaders (ages 15 to 18) from across Boulder County. The 15 Forever Youth Leaders will meet five times per semester and will learn about the following: assets; needs and risks for the youth population; financial literacy; existing non-profit organizations and programs; and grantmaking.
