We sit down with Central City junior Fyn Fasbender to talk about youth philanthropy—what it looks like, what motivates it, and how to get more young people involved. From being “voluntold” at a young age to finding real passion in giving back, Fyn shares honest insight into why connection, purpose, and even just having a friend alongside you makes all the difference. It’s a practical, real-life conversation for anyone wanting to better engage youth in their community.
