[YL] What's New from the Youth Programs Resource Center at The Finance Project

[Soumya Bhat]

 We are pleased to announce the development of a new on-line, searchable
youth clearinghouse, a joint project of The Finance Project and the
Forum for Youth Investment, which contains information and resources
that both organizations have developed as well as resources from other
youth-focused organizations.  

 

The Finance Project has recently finished several new publications
focused on financing and sustaining programs serving youth that are
featured in the clearinghouse.  These publications build upon our
previous work in this area and include information on finding funding,
suggestions for applying financing strategies and strategies for
partnership building. Please visit The Finance Project's website at 
http://www.financeproject.org/irc/yp.asp to access the series and to
learn more about the project.
