Please Note: The Youth Trustees in Philanthropy will not support individuals, illegal activities or any other costs not in compliance with 4-H Youth Development program, Maine 4-H Foundation or University of Maine policies. The Youth Trustees may at times limit funding to areas financially supported by the donor request until such time that the Youth Trustees have developed a general fund.

Questions: Please Contact Susan Jennings at 615-7300 and one of the Youth Trustees will get in touch with your youth leadership representative.
