Youth Venture
In1996, Youth Venture® was launched with the vision of changing society such that everyone would have the freedom and societal support to take initiative and address social needs. An essential element of this vision is to enable young people to learn early on in life that they can lead social change. It is clear that any young person who has an idea for improving his or her community, leads a team, launches a Venture and contributes something lasting will emerge transformed from such an experience. Young “Venturers” will know that they are capable of leading and creating change, and it is likely that they will take initiative again and again over a lifetime.

The United Way of Greater Augusta teamed up with the Boys and Girls Club of Waynesboro, Staunton, and Augusta to produce the following anti-bullying video.
Youth Venture inspires and invests in teams of young people aged 12-20 to start social Ventures, and is building a powerful global network of young changemakers. Since the organization was formed, Youth Venture has supported over 3,000 youth-led Venture teams, involving over 50,000 young people throughout 17 countries. The youth-led clubs, organizations or businesses address all areas of social need: health, environment, diversity, education, community and civic engagement.
