Youth Service America and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) are offering $2,000 grants to help organizations replicate successful youth engagement experiences. Successful applicants will involve youth in addressing the world’s most pressing social issues, such as climate change, hunger, disease, nutrition, literacy, disaster relief, poverty, and more. Eligible applicants are local, state, or national organizations that are part of a national network, organization, or broader coalition of organizations and want to replicate their successful youth engagement experience (for youth ages 5-25) throughout that network without a youth strategy. Examples include but are certainly not limited to: food banks, zoos, housing authorities, and other non-profit organizations addressing a social issue. Applicants should plan to use Global Youth Service Day as a primary vehicle to engage youth in the issue addressed.
The grant can be used to promote participation in 2008 and 2009 Global Youth Service Day. Therefore, applicants are encouraged to pursue funding for an effort that takes place over a multi-year period. Click here for more information . Deadline: November 30, 2007.
