YouthActionNet Offers Funding for Youth-Led Social Entrepreneurial Projects
Deadline: April 18, 2004

YouthActionNet (<a href="http://www.youthactionnet.org/">http://www.youthactionnet.org/</a>) is offering awards to youth leaders and 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, and Nokia, the Finnish cellphone maker.

To be eligible, youth-led projects should have clearly defined goals and the potential for growth and/or further replication. Recipients will receive $500, which includes funds for a disposable camera to record the recipient’s project for an online photo gallery. Award recipients will also have the opportunity to take part in an online journal and contribute to a booklet of case studies highlighting the work of young people around the world bringing positive change to their communities.

The program is open to young people ages 18-24. Applicants must have a leadership role in a youth-led initiative that works to promote positive change in their community.

See the Youth Action Net Web site for complete program guidelines and an online application form.
