Grants

What is a grant? Miley’s friends at Youth Service America (YSA) have grant opportunities to help Get Ur Good On! A grant is money you can apply for to fund an idea you have for a service project. If you are awarded the grant, you can use the grant money to buy materials or supplies you need for your project. Youth Service America has several grants you can apply to. Here are the grants you can apply for now:

Miley's friends at YSA will award 100 Sodexo Youth Grants of $500 each to support youth-led service projects in the United States that address the issue of childhood hunger on Global Youth Service Day (April 20-22, 2012). We’re looking for projects that engage your peers, friends, families, neighbors, Sodexo employees, and other community members in creative, youth-inspired solutions to ending childhood hunger in your community.

Over 17 million children in the United States live at risk of hunger, including the 1 in 4 children who rely on free and reduced-price school breakfast and lunch programs as their only guaranteed meals. YSA (Youth Service America) and Sodexo are calling on young people, ages 5-25, to help make sure your peers don’t have to worry about where their next meal will come from, and can instead focus on learning and leading healthy and productive lives. 17 million children across the United States need your ideas and commitment to solving this issue through service.

Applications are due by midnight January 17^th, 2012. Get started here.

Miley also supports eliminating childhood hunger. Watch this video about the work she has done with Blessings in a Backpack, an organization that provides weekend meals to children on free or reduced lunch.

Comment by Ellie Coburn 17 hours ago: Hi sweet people, My name is Ellie and I am here on behalf of my personal blog and a dream. A dream for the future. A world without teenage heartache. I have a vision of a world without teenage bullying. I believe that no teenager should have to deal with the grief of society induced body image issues. & I want to put an end to homeless and hungry youth. I have a dream that together we can create, educate, and advocate for the young people of our world. Take the first step to a better day and get involved. Do something. Follow my blog and get more ideas of how to get involved by clicking here I believe in a better day. Do you?
