Red, White & Green Climate Change Grants Available for Youth 
        Projects
 
 Deadline: March 9, 2007

 Youth Service America ( http://www.ysa.org/ ) and the Civil 
 Society Institute ( http://www.civilsocietyinstitute.org/ ) 
 have announced the second round of the Red, White & Green 
 Climate Change Grant. This opportunity offers $500 to young 
 people and to organizations that engage young people in the 
 United States between the ages of 15 and 25.

 Applicants are expected to develop and implement a service-
 learning project about climate change that engages their 
 community, policy makers, and candidates running for election 
 in 2007 and 2008. The program welcomes projects where youth 
 work in partnership with adults (parents, coaches, teachers, 
 youth leaders, etc.), but the projects should be youth-led and 
 must take place between May 1 and October 31, 2007.
 
 Selected grantees will share the outcomes and next steps of 
 their service projects with each other and with climate change 
 experts. They will also present their recommendations to high-
 level policy makers. Visit the Red, White & Green Climate Change 
 Web site ( http://www.redwhiteandgreen.org/ ) to learn more about 
 this initiative.
