HCHY List: YSA Dollars for Change Grants

[Michael Minks]

Youth Service America is excited to announce a new Global Youth Service
Grants program to support youth ages 12-25 in implementing semester-long
service-learning projects during summer or fall 2009.

 

Dollars for Change Grants (Applicants in USA and selected provinces in
Canada)

 

Youth Service America's (YSA), YSA's National Youth Council (NYC) and
State Farm Companies Foundation are excited to offer Dollars for Change
Grants, as part of YSA's Global Youth Service Grants.  YSA's NYC will
select the grantees: youth ages 12-25 who will collaborate with a
teacher or service-learning coordinator.  The awards are up to $2,000,
and will support high-impact, semester-long service-learning projects.
The selected youth-led projects will engage a minimum of 100 young
people in service, demonstrate Youth Voice and youth leadership in all
aspects of the decision-making process, and address compelling issues
across the United States and the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Ontario,
and New Brunswick. Upon successful completion of projects and
evaluations, grantees will become eligible to compete for the
prestigious Harris Wofford Youth Award in 2010, and be recognized as a
YSA Service Star.
