Robin Hood

Meet Georgie and Evelyn, two 17-year-olds who turned their passion for helping fellow New Yorkers into a podcast.

They are members of Robin Hood's Teen Council, where NYC high schoolers spend one Friday a month talking with government and nonprofit leaders about the issues shaping their city. One speaker stuck with them so much that they decided other teens deserved that same window into their local nonprofit world — so they built one.

"At times, we have both fallen into the trap of thinking that, because we aren't adults, we can't meaningfully make a difference," Georgie says. "Teen Council provides a space where ambition and service thrive and where teenagers have the resources necessary to help work toward change."

Teen Council runs from September through May and is open to all high schoolers. Learn more and get involved here: https://robinhood.org/get-involved/?utm_source=Fb&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=teen-council -popup=legacy-block-legacy-society-carousel-block_7fa3c257d674686ef74d1bf7c83cc5dc-0
