Youth Social Activist Projects Supported
http://www.toleranc e.org/teens/ grants.jsp
The Mix It Up Grants Program, administered by the Southern Poverty Law Center, funds small-scale youth-directed activist projects that focus on identifying, crossing, and challenging social boundaries in schools and communities. Grants of up to $500 are provided for projects led by youth (ages 13 years and older) that bring together different youth groups, clubs, or community groups. Funded projects should step outside of the box and incorporate fresh ways to engage in and encourage socially just behaviors. Requests may be submitted at any time. Visit the website listed above to review examples of funded projects and download the application guidelines and forms.
"If our history has taught us anything, it is that action for change directed against the external conditions of our oppressions is not enough." --Audre Lorde
