If you have wealth, progressive values, and children in their teens through early thirties, check out Resource Generation. Earlier this year, I was invited, as a guest, to a progressive funders conference. Resource Generation had their own events woven in and out of the events staged primarily for the older generation. The energy and brains and idealism of the Resource Generation crowd were stunning. In a time when so many young people with wealth are afflicted with second thoughts (and others should be), the young people in Resource Generation seemed focused on not themselves but on their own capacity to do good things with others, including those who have little.
As far as I know, Resource Generation doesn't filter for the values of parents. They offer assistance to young people who believe social justice is important. I trust that they would open their doors to those with blended (values) families. Not to do so would be poor social justice?
Perhaps: "If you would like your children to know how to work with advisors around their goals, AND your children have great compassion for the poor and disenfranchised of the world; then Resource Generation might offer some valuable benefits to your family."

OK. Thanks for the correction, or amplification.
