Funding Details
Program goal
Grants will support civic engagement projects that inspire, equip, and mobilize young people (up to age 24) in Westchester to actively participate in civic life. Funding will prioritize youth-led efforts that promote democracy and advance social equity.
Priority will be given to projects that:
- Are youth-informed in their design, incorporating meaningful input from the young people the project aims to serve.
- Provide opportunities for youth to influence or drive change in policies or systems that affect their communities and futures.
- Focus on a specific community issue that affects the community served, or a clear process for how young people will be engaged in identifying and addressing relevant issues.
