United Way Perth Huron has opened up the application process for Youth in Action Grants.
The grants are for 14-24-year-olds in the Perth and Huron area who want to implement projects to address pressing issues among youth.
To be eligible for a grant, the project in question must be planned and implemented by someone in the 14-24 age range, clearly engage their peers in Perth and/or Huron Counties and have an adult trustee over the age of 25.
Grants for up to $1,200 to support these youth-led projects are available from United Way.
The application deadline is October 20. Details regarding criteria and timelines are available at perthhuron.unitedway.ca.
"UWPH is excited to launch our Youth Grants," said Kristin Crane, UWPH Director of Community Impact and Research. "Projects in previous years addressed everything from mental health awareness and social connection to mentoring and physical well-being. We look forward to seeing the many creative ways young people choose to address important local issues among their peers."
