Applications are now open for a grant to help young people in Huron and Perth counties address issues facing youth.
After a year off, the United Way of Perth-Huron is accepting applications for the “Youth in
Action Grants.”
Up to $1,200 is being offered to applicants between 14-24 years of age to develop and implement projects addressing important issues in their community and help their peers.
Previous Youth in Action Grant recipients have addressed a wide range of issues and challenges including mental health awareness, increased social connection, anti-bullying awareness and peer mentoring.
To be eligible for a grant, the project must be planned and implemented by youth aged 14 to 24, clearly engage their peers in Perth and/or Huron Counties and have an adult trustee over the age of 25.
The deadline to apply is October 20th.
