Youth Philanthropy Initiative (YPI)

We are always delighted to be chosen as their nominated charity by groups in Secondary Schools throughout Ayrshire, taking part in the Youth and Philanthropy Initiative (YPI) Scotland.

YPI is run and funded by The Wood Foundation. It is usually undertaken by a full year group to help the pupils engage with local charities and show how they make a difference in the community. For the young people to win the £3000 funding for their chosen charity, they must prepare, and showcase a creative presentation to a judging panel.

We have created this helpful information pack  to get you started. 

If you would like to talk to someone in our team, meet with us, or have any questions for your presentation, you can send us an email at prevention@starcentreayrshire.org – we’re looking forward to hearing from you!
