Summer is almost here!  Is your organization hosting summer programming for youth ages 5-18?  Want to activate kids to create healthier, greener, stronger communities?

Disney and Youth Service America are awarding $2,000 Summer of Service Grants to 26 organizations to incorporate youth-led service projects into summer activities. The best application will receive a $5,000 grant!
