Youth Investment in Tasmania

Young people care about communities. The Youth Investment in Tasmania (YIT) is a sub committee of the Tasmanian Community Foundation facilitating the involvement of young people in promoting and giving within the Tasmanian Community.

The Youth Investment in Tasmania Committee (as a sub committee of the TCF) has secured a grant of $20,000 with the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR). The Committee will be responsible for matching this grant, enabling a total of $40,000 to be distributed to youth communities in 2010.

The Committee is Hobart based but welcomes interest state-wide.
