Grant for Service Learning

This caught my eye because of our focus on service learning at Esperanza.  Obviously we can't apply for it now, but am sure that it is offered every year so we will want to look into it once Esperanza opens.  I have signed up for the newsletter from Youth Service America so we'll be reminded. 

State Farm Good Neighbor Service-Learning Grants - $1,000

Deadline:

November 9, 2011

State Farm™ is proud to team up with YSA (Youth Service America) in a dynamic partnership to offer grants of up to $1,000 for the promotion of service-learning projects in K-12 public schools in all fifty US states and the District of Columbia, and in the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Ontario and New Brunswick.


Each grant engages participating youth in service-learning, an effective teaching and learning strategy that promotes student learning, academic achievement, workplace readiness, and stronger communities. The State Farm Good Neighbor Service-Learning Grants encourage semester-long projects (a Semester of Service) that launch on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service (January 16, 2012) and culminate on Global Youth Service Day (April 20-22, 2012).
