Youth Venture is a national nonprofit organization that helps teams of young people (ages 12-20) by providing them the tools necessary to start their own clubs, organizations, or businesses that give back to their communities.

Youth Venture will give your group a seed grant of up to $1,000 to start your venture. Youth Venture will also give you access to scholarships, awards, special conference invitations, media opportunities and a national network of active young people once you successfully complete the application, present your plan, and meet certain Youth Venture requirements.

Here’s an opportunity to do something about an issue that you care about. Venture teams have done everything from using theatre to provide a positive activity for urban youth to running park clean-ups.

There are Venture teams that provide relief to AIDS orphans and run digital media projects. One even educates others about endangered turtles. Our Venturers have been featured in Forbes, Teen People and Urban Teen Scene. What’s your passion? You DREAM IT and we’ll help you DO IT.
