Youth Creating Change
By Anthony Closkey, February 16, 2010
The Pittsburgh Foundation and the Grable Foundation have begun Voices of Youth, a series of grantmaking competitions.
PSVP Kids has entered the Youth Creating Change competition. They need your support.
Head over to PSVP Kids’ entry page, check out the responses to the issues, and voice a comment.
You know PSVP Kids best, tell the selection committee how PSVP Kids will help reach the Youth Creating Change goals.
Goals
Participating children and youth are asked to work with their adult mentors to design a project that meets at least one of the following goals:
- Increases awareness regarding a local, regional, or national issue;
- Creates first-time opportunities for youth to participate as volunteers or serve in a learning opportunity;
- Expands youth engagement with the civic sector as a voice for change;
- Engages youth in philanthropic activities that connect them with the causes they support; or
- Expands opportunities for young people to learn about historical and contemporary movements for change and puts those lessons into an action plan for change.
The voting process will begin February 22nd, so voice your support today.
