YouthActionNet Announces 2003 Deadlines for Social Change Mini-Grants

Deadline: April 18, 2003; October 1, 2003

A program of the International Youth Foundation (<a href="http://www.iyfnet.org/">http://www.iyfnet.org/</a>), YouthActionNet (<a href="http://www.youthactionnet.org/">http://www.youthactionnet.org/</a>) provides small grants to youth leaders and their emerging projects that promote social change and connect youth with local communities.

Youth-led projects supported by YouthActionNet will have clearly defined goals and have potential for growth or further replication. Award recipients will receive $500 and funds for a disposable camera to photo-document their 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 bringing positive change to their communities around the world.

The program is open to young people ages 18 to 24. Both individuals and groups may apply. Individuals applying must have a leadership role in a youth-led initiative that works to create positive change in their community. Groups/organizations applying must be youth-led and have as part of their mission the goal of creating positive change in their community. In 2003, ten recipients will be selected in each of two rounds.

Complete program guidelines and application forms are available at the YouthActionNet Web site. Applications may be submitted online.
