State Farm Good Neighbor Service-Learning Grant Now Available!

Youth Service America is pleased to announce the availability of the State Farm Good Neighbor Service-Learning Grant to enable youth and educators to bring the benefits of service-learning to more people. One hundred grants of $1,000 each are available to teachers, youth (ages 5-25), and school-based service-learning coordinators to implement service-learning projects for National Youth Service Day, April 15-17, 2005.

National Youth Service Day, the largest service event in the world, mobilizes youth as leaders to identify and address the needs of their communities through service and service-learning, supports youth on a lifelong path of service and civic engagement, and educates the public, the media, and policymakers about the year-round contributions of young people as community leaders.
