Youth Service America (YSA), the YSA National Youth Council, and State Farm are excited to offer 5 grants of up to $2,000 for individual youth or a team of youth (ages 12-25) to plan and implement semester-long service-learning projects with a service-learning coordinator or an educator. The goal of this initiative is to support high-impact, semester-long projects. Selected projects will be youth-led (ages 12-25), engage at least 100 youth volunteers (ages 5-25), and demonstrate youth voice and leadership in all aspects of the decision-making process. Grantees will be selected by the YSA National Youth Council (NYC). Upon successful completion of projects and evaluations, grantees will become eligible to compete for the prestigious Harris Wofford Youth Award in 2010, and be recognized as a YSA Service Star.
