Funding Details
Program goal
We 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.
Grants are made to
- Projects that are youth-informed in their design, are focused on a specific community issue or include a clear process for how young people will be engaged in identifying issues they care about, and provide opportunities for youth to influence or drive changes in policies or systems that affect their communities and futures;
- Policy advocacy to advance civic readiness and engagement for Westchester youth.
Grants in this area are typically awarded in the June cycle.
