Youth Philanthropy and Social Integration A Functional Study

Abstract

The efforts of youth philanthropic and charitable organizations in social advocacy and integration are crucial for the personal development of young people and the creation of a positive social environment. Currently, many youth philanthropic and charitable organizations have initiated a range of public education activities, aiming to not only enhance public awareness but also to engage in policy advocacy, forming basic patterns and experiences. Research on the social advocacy activities of the Y Fund demonstrates that as catalysts for social advocacy, these youth organizations draw in related organizations and the public to form cooperative networks. They leverage professional training, financial support, and event planning, using new media to focus on social issues, creating an effective model of influence that interacts both online and offline. This model effectively connects with policy advocacy, mobilizes key groups and grassroots communities to participate, and achieves the goals of promoting policy improvement and social integration. It provides valuable insights for philanthropic and charitable organizations to realize their social functions.
