If you have a kids ages 12 and up who wants to do a BIG project, Venture seems like a program for kids to complete an “Eagle Scout” type project without needing to be a Boy Scout, perhaps more training on grant writing. Julia has known about it since summer when her oldest daughter heard a speaker from Venture. A condensed and edited version of the original message:
Youth Venture Challengebrings together youth who have a clear idea of what they would like to impact in their community and how. Through the Challenge, one team has the opportunity to earn $2,000 in seed funding while all of the eight teams have the opportunity to earn up to $1,000 to carry out their plans. The registration form for the Challenge is available through the contact info below.
If you know of youth who you think would be interested, but aren’t sure they know what they would impact, let us know. Our Dream It. Do It. workshop can help them decide their passions and what they may like to impact. This 60 minute facilitated workshop is fast-paced and heavily driven by the youth and their ideas. It will help them formulate their idea that they can then clarify during the Challenge. We are scheduling Dream It. Do It. Workshops now.
Need more information? Check out the brochure and descriptions of other projects on our website first and then give us a call.
My best,
