🌟 The future of philanthropy is bright!

Last week, Dr. Heather Carpenter led the Youth Philanthropy and Community Leadership Summer Camp through INAR’s partnership with LSU Shreveport Continuing Education.

Students explored philanthropy, volunteerism, nonprofit careers, and community leadership while creating projects focused on issues they care about, including the environment, healthcare, maternal health, safe housing, and healthy eating.

💡 These young leaders reminded us that age is no barrier to making a difference.

👏 Help us celebrate these future changemakers! Leave a word of encouragement for them in the comments.
