2024 Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation Youth Grants – Jan 21

Posted by Youth Service America on December 5, 2023

Youth Service America (YSA) is excited to announce the 2024 Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation Youth Grants! With the generous support of the Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation, we are once again offering project grants to young changemakers – aged 5 to 25 – to lead awareness, direct service, advocacy, and philanthropic projects that focus on ending childhood hunger in their communities.

What are we looking for?

• Proposed projects must be youth-led and focus on addressing childhood hunger;
• Projects must take place during the Sodexo Servathon (April 1-May 31, 2024), with some activity on Global Youth Service Day (April 26-28, 2024) strongly encouraged;
• Projects may take place in schools, colleges/universities, afterschool programs, youth organizations, nonprofits, or faith-based organizations;
• Youth applicants should engage youth not typically asked to serve (including, but not limited to youth from low-income families or neighborhoods, young people of color, and youth who are often served but not asked to serve – including, but not limited to, youth with disabilities, youth in the juvenile justice system, youth in foster care, youth from military families, etc.) as volunteers;
• Youth applicants must live in the United States, and activities must benefit children and families in the United States.

Youth may apply for grants of either $250 or $500 depending on the number of youth who will be participating as volunteers in project activities.

YSA will host an application walk through and planning webinar on Wednesday, December 6, at 7:00pm Eastern. Registration is required to attend the webinar and may be done by clicking here.
