Shared Learning
The ultimate measure of our impact is the young people we help empower, and the things they achieve throughout their lives.
Supporting the Next Generation
Our feet aren’t tired, we just got new sneaks!
Snow-Redfern Foundation has been on a journey to find a way to make the most impact for youth and it’s called participatory philanthropy.
It’s all about engaging the next generation right now so they can co-create a new and improved version of this world, they will soon lead.
We’ve been out-and-about asking hard questions and doing research that proves participatory practices are the wave of the future.
Here are a few impactful tools we used:
Youth Environmental Scan
A Collection of the most recent available data and conversations with youth serving organizations in the Nebraska panhandle.
Teen Opportunity Survey Results
Survey conducted to measure youth perceptions of their community, future education and career plans, and living in the local area in the future.
Grantmaking Study Report
Statewide study exploring what it might take for youth and family systems of care to become more inclusive and how grantmaking could enhance participation.
