Community service project grants of $500 to $1,500 are awarded to youth who take leadership roles and work with adult 4-H volunteer leaders and/or county extension agents. Grants require youth teams to identify critical issues in their communities, develop activities to address these issues, and educate other young people and children on ways to model community service. Youth must be actively involved in writing the proposal and in program implementation. Collaborative efforts reflecting the diversity of the community are encouraged.

The 2004 application is due October 1, 2003, and a link to download it is below. To receive notification when this and other grant applications are available, please sign up for the grants listserv at www.grants.n4h.org.
