By Youth For Youth (BYFY) is a unique opportunity for Dane County high school youth to be impactful leaders in their community. BYFY provides opportunities for youth to make local investment decisions to support youth-led and youth-developed programs and projects in Dane County. Together, high school students establish funding priorities, review grant proposals, and recommend funding from County and City grants. BYFY is a collaborative program organized by UW-Madison Extension, the City of Madison, United Way of Dane County, and the Dane County Youth Commission.

The 2024/2025 BYFY Youth Member Applications are now closed. If you are interested in applying for a future cohort, please add your contact information to this outreach list.
