The first Carnegie grant-giving meeting to include young people will be in June, where around 100,000 will be allocated to youth-related projects. Individual grants will vary in size from 5,000 to 30,000.
David Cutler, coordinator of the Carnegie Young People Initiative, said: "They will have the same voting power on grants as the trust's main board."
The young people will be drawn from a pool of around 30 aged from 13 to 24 who are already involved in Carnegie research projects and on the Carnegie Initiative's management committee.
The involvement of young people in grant-giving is also to be on the agenda at the annual conference of the Association of Charitable Foundations in April, with young members of YouthBank running workshops on the subject.
