Hey everyone! In this episode of #AskAmber, I had the pleasure of chatting with two inspiring young ladies, Sierra and Raquel, from Long Beach, California. 🎉 They’ve been actively involved in community service projects throughout high school and now want to take their passion to the next level by starting a nonprofit. Their question? “CAN YOUTH START A NONPROFIT? Are there rules around it?” 💡Here’s my answer: 👉🏾 Yes, kids can absolutely get involved in nonprofit work and perform programs, outreach, and services. However, if you’re under 18, there are some limitations when it comes to the legal aspects of starting a nonprofit. Since minors can't sign contracts or file paperwork, your parents or guardians would need to step in as authorized individuals to officially start the organization. ✨ Once you turn 18, you can take the reins and officially start your nonprofit! Many of the inspiring stories you hear about kids running nonprofits often involve them working behind the scenes while their parents handle the legal stuff. #Nonprofit #NonprofitLeadership #YouthLeadership #CommunityService #HowToStartANonProfit

The public library system is an incredible resource for everyone, at every age, in every stage of life . . . it's not just reading and books -- a source of adventure, learning, comfort, and growth all on their own! It's also about a quiet place to sit and just be, it's about heat in the winter and AC in the summer, it's about games, it's about homework help and job support, it's about community building, it's about self-improvement and self-care . . . it's so very many things and I am over-the-moon grateful to have been introduced to the magic and power of libraries at an early age by my mom, to have always lived near wonderful and extensive library systems, to have made it a point to find the nearest library, and to have eventually grown to enrolling in digital library memberships. If you do anything this week -- patron, support, and thank your local library! #publiclibraries #publicgoods #communityspaces #safespaces #lifelonglearning

Recently, Form Follows Studio connected with a networking collective that required a $1,000 onboarding fee for us to join. While we recognize the value of network leaders in fostering community connections, we couldn’t help but feel that this initial fee (on top of monthly dues) could be better spent directly supporting those who are making the most impact in our city. So, instead of joining, we’ve decided to invest that $1,000 into some of the most impactful organizations and individuals right here in North Texas. North Texas Giving Day can feel like a tough ask, especially when so many of us work tirelessly for far less than we deserve. At Form Follows, we’re constantly helping our clients streamline their overhead to maximize impact, so we’re taking our own advice this quarter. We’re redirecting our operational costs into donations for the following organizations: North Texas Giving Day Participants: Deep Vellum Publishing DOWNWINDERS AT RISK EDUCATION FUND Philanthropy for Kids Child Poverty Action Lab (CPAL) Non-NTXGD Participants That Deserve Our Support (We’re also donating our time to these incredible groups): 4DWN Dallas For Change Take Care Health and Wellness United People’s Coalition City Departments We’re Collaborating With, Despite Facing Budget Cuts: Integrated Public Safety Department At Form Follows, we believe that meaningful change comes from investing directly in the people and organizations creating real impact. By pouring resources into those who need it most, we’re reinforcing our commitment to strengthening our community.
