9/11 Day of Service Minigrants

Youth-led service projects planned for 911 Day of Service

The Youth Council of Youth Service America is partnering with State Farm to support youth across the United States in learning about, remembering, and honoring the 10th anniversary of 9/11 through a 9/11 service-learning project.

Available to youth ages 5-25 and teachers/educators who work with youth ages 5-25, YSA will award 10-20 $500 or $1,000 grants to youth-led projects that address important community needs while helping youth – many of who have no first hand memory of the event – remember and honor the 9/11 victims and their families, understand the significance of the event, and commit to sustaining our democracy through service.

Projects will need to address one of YSA’s 9 for 9/11 – 9 lessons from the event and related ideas for service-learning projects. Grant applicants can also suggest a 10th lesson.
