Youthprise and Bridgemakers have been selected as #WWCivicSpring grantees by WW Foundation!

WW Foundation is a 75-year-old foundation whose work has grown to include promoting gender and racial diversity in higher education, improving the quality of K–12 education, and improving understanding of American history and civics. In accordance with their work and values, the Foundation’s board recently unanimously voted to remove Woodrow Wilson from its name and rename the organization by early fall.

Their Civic Spring Project is based on core democratic principles of educating communities and individuals to participate in government and civic life. Our work as part of the CSP will be to develop and promote a youth policy agenda for national, state, and local representatives; and to enable Minnesota’s high school students to receive unemployment benefits during the pandemic and after. This statewide project will be led by young people at every level—from project directors to ambassadors and volunteers—with adults serving as mentors.
