Youth Service America is dedicated to making collaborative efforts for the common good a standard expectation and experience for all young individuals.
The National Days of Service Lead Agency Grants program focuses on bolstering youth participation in significant service days—MLK Day of Service and Global Youth Service Day/Youth Service Month. By awarding 2-year grants to organizations that can lead a coalition for project planning, Youth Service America seeks to enhance youth engagement in service activities. The grants, varying from $2,500 to $5,000, are designed to support efforts in increasing youth participation rates, with continuation in the second year dependent on performance and funding availability.
