$1,000 Mini Grants for Youth Engagement 

In the past, YDTRC has provided this terrific opportunity for youth to take on leadership roles and for AYD grads to put their knowledge into action. We hope to provide this again in the very near future.

Put your ideas into action! Youth and staff who team up together will be invited to apply for a Mini Grant of up to $1,000. Staff you apply must have graduated from YDTRC's 30-hour training course, Advancing Youth Development, and must be ready to partner with youth to create lasting services, opportunities, and supports. Young people should be involved in all stages of program design, including planning, implementation, and evaluation. As the grand finale, youth-staff teams are expected to present their work at our annual Youth Presentation Mini Grant Showcase. 

To inquire about the next mini grant opportunity, please contact Letisha Scott at (203) 789-7645, ext. 127.
