Happy New Year!

 

The January 15th deadline for YSA's UnitedHealth Heroes Service-Learning
Grants is just a week and a half away. We'll be awarding 200+ grants,
making this one of our largest mini-grant programs ever! There's still
time to submit an application or to pass this along to those in your

Thanks.

 

 

 

UnitedHealth Heroes Service-Learning Grants: Asking young people to take
the lead in solving the most critical health problem facing their
generation!

 

Youth Service America and UnitedHealthcare are excited to offer the
UnitedHealth HEROES service-learning grants, a Global Youth Service
Grant (GYSG).  More than 200 awards are available for youth-led
community education projects. These grants of up to $1,000 support
teachers, community-based and school-based service-learning
coordinators, and students in the health professions to implement
service-learning projects around childhood obesity.  The selected
projects will engage children and youth ages 5 to 25 in youth-led
solutions.  We encourage 'Semester of Service' length projects that
launch in February, and use Global Youth Service Day (April 24-26, 2009)
to bring visibility to their projects.   

Grants will support projects in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado,
Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South
Carolina, and Tennessee, and in the following specific areas:
Florida-selected counties, Illinois-Chicagoland and Peoria; and New
York-Long Island, New York City, and Syracuse.  

 

Deadline:  January 15, 2009.  For application materials, visit

YSA improves communities by increasing the number and the diversity of
young people, ages 5-25, serving in substantive roles.
