Youth Invest Partners Information

Long-standing and deeply-rooted racial inequities in our region have created stark disparities in educational, health and youth development resources and experiences. Together, we eliminate these disparities, creating conditions for better life outcomes for children and youth. Together, we design and build systems to drive positive change and build brighter futures for young people in our communities. Youth Invest Partners, formerly VPP+Raise DC, leads social change by making sustained investments in community organizations and spearheading partnerships between businesses, community members, funders, government, nonprofits and philanthropists. Through direct financial investments, and strategic assistance to strengthen organizational capacity, we have deployed more than $110 million to organizations serving more than 57,000 children and young adults in our region, leading to improved academic achievement, higher graduation rates and brighter futures for Greater Washington youth ages 0-24.
