What is Teen Trust?

Teen Trust was created in Black Hawk County to provide teens with a way to become active trustees of their community. Teen Trust is the only foundation in Iowa administered by youth for the purpose of engaging in philanthropy.

This year-long program of the Community Foundation of Waterloo / Cedar Falls and Northeast Iowa empowers and challenges high school students to address, identify and seek solutions to community needs. The program culminates with the students awarding $10,000 from the Youth Interest Fund of the Community Foundation to non-profit agencies in Black Hawk County.
