Betsy Peterson
Director

Betsy Peterson is a former teacher with a heart for experiential learning and community involvement. Betsy first learned about the impact of philanthropy education when Learning to Give piloted its lessons in Michigan schools, demonstrating that the skills, joy, and power of philanthropy could raise youth engagement. She started at Learning to Give as a consultant and has served as an editor, writer, director of curriculum, and director.

Betsy believes that as more youth learn about ways to be generous and active in the community, we all have a stronger and more kind future.
