Youth Service America and Disney are pleased to offer the Disney Minnie Grants to fund children’s efforts to improve their communities. These grants of USD500 are for children (ages 5-14) or the organizations that engage them, to implement youth-led service projects that address the issues of Poverty, Hunger, Education, Environment, Global Citizenship, Sustainable Community Development, and Disaster Prevention & Relief.

Projects will take place in the months of September-November 2009.

Apply online at www.ysa.org/awards 

Accepting applications:  April-June 15, 2009. 

 
ELIGIBILITY

• Children (ages 5-14); or
• Older youth (ages 15-25) who design a project that engages children (ages 5-14) as volunteers; or
• Recognized groups/organizations who engage younger youth (ages 5-14) as volunteers. The term “youth” is equivalent to “young people, including children”. For this grant, children (ages 5-14) should have a significant part in planning and implementing the service project.
