Are you a young person? Do you have an idea that will make EVERY DAY
National & Global Youth Service Day? Do you need the funding and
resources to get things going? 
 
YSA Youth Venture can help! 
 
The Youth Service America/Youth Venture Program is a unique partnership
between Youth Service America and Youth Venture that helps youth engage
in community service and develop as young social entrepreneurs. YSA
Youth Venture helps make every day National & Global Youth Service Day
(N&GYSD) by providing funding and support to young people (ages 12-20)
who want to create new, sustainable, civic-minded organizations, clubs
or businesses called Ventures. 
 
Examples include:
*	A youth center designed to keep youth out of trouble with music
and art programs 
*	An anti-peer pressure education campaign 
*	A bike repair shop with a vocational training program 
*	An assembly program touring inner city schools combining music
with an anti-drug/violence performances 
 
Ventures must be youth-led and designed to be a lasting asset to the
community. YSA Youth Venture teams are required to plan a N&GYSD project
every year that their Venture is operational. The YSA Youth Venture
Program provides a variety of resources including: a national network of
like-minded young people, media opportunities, technical support,
helpful toolkits and workshops as well as seed money funding of up to
$1,000 for start-up expenses.
