ServeNebraska (servenebraska.org) is offering funding opportunities for schools, clubs, nonprofits, and youth-serving organizations planning youth led service projects during National Volunteer Week, April 19 to 25.
Organizations may receive up to $700 in funding to develop, coordinate, and implement small projects that engage Nebraska youth in meaningful volunteer service. Eligible projects must be youth-led and take place during the designated National Volunteer Week timeframe.
While Nebraska consistently ranks among the top 10 states for volunteerism, research shows that national levels of volunteer service have been declining. The goal of this grant cycle is to provide Nebraska youth with opportunities to try service projects and, hopefully, instill a lasting love of community involvement.
The application process is simple and includes a brief project description along with a basic budget form. Now is the time forinterested organizations to submit their applications.
ServeNebraska encourages eligible schools, nonprofits, clubs, and youth programs to take advantage of this opportunity to empower young people through service.
