This year, YSA will award up to 100 grants of $1,000 each. Grantees are required to engage at least 100 youth as volunteers in planning and implementing the service activities. 80% of the required youth volunteers must identify as youth who are not usually asked to serve and who face systemic barriers to participation. These include:
- Young people of color (Black, Hispanic, Asian, and Indigenous youth);
- Youth from underserved low-income families and neighborhoods; and
- Youth who are often beneficiaries of service, rather than participants in service (youth in rural communities, youth who are homeless, youth in foster care, youth with disabilities, youth in the juvenile justice system, youth who are immigrants or refugees, youth from military families, youth who are LGBTQ+, and youth who are English language learners).
Criteria
- Projects must be youth-led;
- Projects must include elements to honor and pay tribute to those who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, and those who rose in service in response;
- Projects must take place on or around September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance (September 11, 2024);
- At least 80% of youth volunteers must identify as youth who are not usually asked to serve and who face systemic barriers to participation; and
- Applicants must be based in the United States, and activities must benefit people in the United States. This includes American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Washington, D.C
