Youth Venture

Tu Voz, My Venture
Youth Venture partnered with MTV Tr3s, and received funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to advance Latino educational achievement by investing in young people to have a transformative experience of launching and leading social ventures that encourage Latino students to finish high school and prepare for college or work, and supporting these young leaders by connecting them to a global network of likeminded young "Venturers."

50 Tu Voz My Venture teams were created by awarding grants of up to $1000 to groups of young people to create Ventures that benefit Latino students. Of those teams, 5 were also awarded $5000 team scholarships. Full details are available at www.genv.net/tuvoz
