[YL] Red, White & Green grants

[Christina Wessell Batcheler]

Red, White & Green grants (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.
Please visit redwhiteandgreen.org <http://www.redwhiteandgreen.org/>  to
learn more about this initiative.
Applicants need to download application materials at www.YSA.org/awards.
BOTH the Introduction & Requirements document (.pdf format) and the
Application & Guidelines document (word format) are required to submit a
competitive application. We encourage applicants to review the
evaluation form before filling out their application, although only
grantees will need to complete the evaluation after their projects take
place. A list of grantees and project descriptions from the first round
of Red, White & Green! grants is available at
