Youth Service America and the Civil Society Institute are excited to announce the Red, White, and Green Climate Change Grant. This opportunity offers $500 to youth between the ages of 15-25 or to organizations that serve engage youth ages 15-25. Successful applicants will design a service-learning project that promotes awareness about climate change and possible solutions.

The Red, White, and Green Climate Change Grant is open to all young people in the United States between the ages of 15-25 and to organizations that serve youth ages 15-25.

Applicants will be expected to develop and implement a service project about climate change that engages their community and candidates running for election in November 2006. We welcome projects where youth work in partnership with adults (parents, coaches, teachers, youth leaders, etc.), but remember this is an opportunity for youth to shine. Projects should be youth-led, and the service must take place between October 1 and November 30, 2006.
