United Way Perth Huron is opening applications for its annual Youth in Action grants.
Applications will be accepted as of Monday, September 11 until October 13. The grants are intended for 14-25-year-olds who have an idea to address an issue they see in their communities in Perth and Huron counties.
To be eligible, the project must be put together and implemented by a youth who is 14-25 in age, clearly engages their peers in Perth and/or Huron counties and have an adult trustee over the age of 25. Grants up to $1,000 are available.
Details regarding criteria and timelines are available at perthhuron.unitedway.ca.
“UWPH is excited to launch our Youth Grants again this year,” shared UWPH Director of Governance and Community Impact, Megan Partridge. “The ideas and energy in the submissions are always inspiring. Last year’s slate of projects 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.”
