Description:
This summer’s teen unemployment rate has been marked at a whopping
75% - compared to 2000 when it was 55%. We think this is a great
opportunity for young people like you to get involved in local
initiatives or step up and start your own projects to provide the
young people in your area with volunteer opportunities in place of
jobs.
If you need money to put your ideas into action or to provide more
opportunities for other teens to take action and volunteer in your
community, these are the grants for you!
These grants can be used to help you run your volunteer efforts and
include more teens in what you’re doing. These grants can be used to
help you cover costs including food, materials and supplies, event
space, transportation to and from a volunteer event. All volunteer
programs must engage at least 25 teens in volunteerism, although we
hope to see even bigger numbers!
