Do Something Good!

Youth as Resources (YAR) is offering grants from $100 to $750 for projects that meet the following goals:

* Empowers the youth of Allen County to plan and implement service projects to meet a community need
* Recognizes and promotes youth as volunteers
* Educates youth to become philanthropists
* Fosters youth/adult partnerships

What does it mean? If you and some of your friends have a special community project you'd like to do, like building a ramp for a handicapped neighbor, using a vacant lot to start a community garden, or something else that will be good for your school or your community, you may apply to Youth As Resources to try to receive a grant giving you the money to carry out your project.

Applications are due by January 31, 2010, so if you're interested either send an email to Anne Duff or apply online at www.leadershipfortwayne.org.
