Applications for grants to engage youth volunteers on 9/11 Day of Service & Remembrance, MLK Day of Service, and Global Youth Service Day are now being accepted from nonprofits, schools, and youth development programs through YSA’s 2021-2022 Lead Agency program. YSA is offering grants of up to $8,000, depending on the number of youth volunteers engaged. The primary role of a Lead Agency is to convene and train a coalition of partners who will collectively engage youth ages 5-25 – especially youth in middle & high school and those who aren't usually asked to serve – to organize service or service-learning projects.
