Deadline: April 15, 2006

YouthActionNet <a href="http://www.youthactionnet.org">http://www.youthactionnet.org</a> will present awards to youth leaders and emerging projects that promote social change and connect youth with local communities. The YouthActionNet Awards are supported by Make a Connection, a global initiative of the International Youth Foundation <a href="http://www.iyfnet.org/">http://www.iyfnet.org/</a> and Nokia <a href="http://www.nokia.com/">http://www.nokia.com/</a>.

To be eligible for an award, youth-led projects should have clearly defined goals and the potential for growth or further replication. Final selections are made following a peer-review process in which previous award winners select the next round of awardees. Award recipients will receive $500 and are eligible to participate in an international capacity-building workshop.

The program is open to all young people between the ages of 18 and 29. Individuals applying must have a leadership role in a youth-led initiative that works to create positive change in their community, and applications must be written in English. The YouthActionNet Awards will be held once a year. This year’s deadline is April 15, 2006, with winners to be announced July 30, 2006.
