The Young Futures Innovators Cohort kicked off this week in DC, with a goal of addressing the gap in support for nonprofit leaders.

The accelerator, which is open to teens nationwide, launched in March at South by Southwest. It’s made up of 10 nonprofits, each focused on helping youth have healthier relationships with technology — and one another.
