HCHY List: $500 Disney Minnie Grants to Engage Youth Ages 5-14 - Deadline: October 30

[Michael Minks]

I sent out information about YSA's State Farm Good Neighbor
Service-Learning Grant last week, and I wanted to be sure you all saw
another grant opportunity from Youth Service America. $500 Disney Minnie
Grants are available to engage children 5-14 in service projects. This
is a great opportunity for those in schools, community-based programs,
afterschool programs, etc. Deadline is coming up quickly - October 30.
More information is below.

The Disney Minnie Grants GYSD 2009 (U.S. and International Applicants)

 

The Walt Disney Company and Youth Service America are excited to
announce grants of up to $500 to support child-led service projects.
These grants support children (ages 5-14) in planning and implementing
service projects in their community. Teachers, older youth (15-25), and
youth-serving organizations are also eligible to apply, if they engage
younger children in planning and implementing the project. A significant
part of the service must take place on GYSD 2009, April 24-26. We
particularly encourage applicants to address the environmental issues
and to seek to empower children as young citizens through their
projects.  Applicants can use the United Nations' Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs) <http://www.takingitglobal.org/themes/mdg/>  as a reference
and review past grantees' projects from all over the world at:
http://ysa.org/AwardsGrants/DisneyMinnieGrants/DisneyMinnieGrantees2008/
tabid/292/Default.aspx.  Applications are welcome from all countries.
Applicants from India, China and Russia are especially encouraged to
apply. While grant information is made available in Chinese, French,
Russian, and Spanish, applications will only be accepted in English (an
online translation tool is available at the YSA website)... Past Disney
Minnie Grantees are also eligible to apply.  Questions? Email
MinnieGrant at ysa.org. Deadline: October 30, 2008. Be sure to download the
correct application and review all application materials, available at
