Teens with a GIFT of Foresight (TGF)

Teens with a GIFT of Foresight, or TGF, is a student-based volunteer youth philanthropy organization that seeks to positively impact Geneseo and the surrounding communities. Together the TGF team will experience every aspect of the grant cycle. TGF is an opportunity for young people to contribute in a special way, to develop their skills and knowledge -- and experience first-hand the joy, satisfaction and impact they can make through charitable giving. This goes beyond community service and takes civic education to the next level. It helps our youth to understand how important their role is in our society and how sharing responsibilities can effect social change.

Our TGF program contributes to the community both now and in the future. Teens will learn and experience giving in adolescent years, and see the difference that it makes, instilling in them a sense of compassion and responsibility in helping others that will grow exponentially in their adult lives.
