Young philanthropists start their own charities with drive
A wave of young volunteers move from helping causes to founding groups. Dan and Betsy Nally aged 15 and 12 led Turkeys R Us to donate 86,000 pounds of turkey feeding over 150000 people. Nicholas Mantini, senior at Davidson College, aids Nicaraguans through education and job training. Dana Hork, 22, founded Change for Change raising about 40000 in three years for causes including the Red Cross after 9/11. Youth Venture reports a surge in applications as peer-led philanthropy grows with broader motivation beyond politics. A national survey shows volunteerism rising among college freshmen from 1989 to 2001.
