The Youth Initiative

The goal of the Youth Initiative is to engage young people in helping to create and share the stories of nonprofit organizations in central Florida. Teachers and students from local schools follow the journeys of the Victory Cup Finalist organizations to learn more about their mission and the incredible work VCI finalists do in our community.

This year, small groups of students will research one finalist and will report to that nonprofit on the story as they understand it based on their research. Students will also share their aspirational vision for the organization and how they can personally help achieve that vision. Additionally, the students will participate in a school-wide story telling showcase event.
