Publisher Offers Funding for Student Volunteer Projects
Deadline: January 10, 2005

To celebrate publication of "D is for Democracy," publisher Sleeping Bear Press, a Thomson Gale imprint, is encouraging students in grades three through eight to play an active role in America’s democratic process by developing their own volunteer project. Sleeping Bear Press will award five $1,000 grants to fund the winning student projects.

Proposals are to be developed and submitted by a teacher on behalf of an entire classroom. Submissions will be evaluated based on their originality, a clearly stated need and benefit, and feasibility of implementation.

For application criteria and more information about the Grassroots Volunteer Campaign, visit the program’s Web site.
