Red White & Green Climate Change Grant (US applicants ONLY)

Youth Service America and the Civil Society Institute are excited to announce the second round of the Red, White & Green Climate Change Grant. This opportunity offers $500 to young people in the United States between the ages of 15-25 and to organizations that engage youth ages 15-25.

Applicants are expected to develop and implement a service-learning project about climate change that engages their community, policy-makers and candidates running for election in 2007 and 2008. We welcome projects where youth work in partnership with adults (parents, coaches, teachers, youth leaders, etc.): but the projects should be youth-led, and must take place between May 1 and October 31, 2007.

Selected grantees will share the outcomes and next steps of their service projects with each other and with climate change experts. They will also present their recommendations to high-level policy-makers.

Receipt deadline: March 9, 2007 (by 5:00pm Eastern Standard Time).
