Service-Learning Projects in the U.S. and Canada Supported
State Farm Youth Advisory Board National Grant Program

The State Farm Youth Advisory Board is composed of young adults who demonstrate exemplary work in service-learning, volunteering, and philanthropy in their communities. The Youth Advisory Board National Grant Program funds student-led service-learning projects throughout the United States and in the provinces of Alberta, New Brunswick, and Ontario in Canada. Specific areas of interest include natural and societal disasters, driver safety, environmental responsibility, accessing higher education/closing the achievement gap, and financial literacy. Educators working in public K-12, charter, and higher education institutions are eligible to apply. Nonprofit organizations are also eligible if they are able to demonstrate how they plan to interact with students in public K-12 schools. Grants range from $25,000 to $100,000; at least one grant will be provided in each of the thirteen State Farm zones, which include three provinces in Canada. Applications must be submitted online by May 2, 2011. Visit the Youth Advisory Board website for application guidelines.
