Deadline: Oct. 31, 2017
“We all want to make our communities – and our planet – greener, safer, healthier, fairer, and stronger. Youth Service America (YSA) believes that empathy is key to improving the world. We are partnering with Hasbro’s signature philanthropic initiative, BE FEARLESS BE KIND, to encourage young people to stand up for others, include everyone, and take action when they see a problem. The BE FEARLESS BE KIND grants give young people an opportunity to put their empathy, passion, and creativity into action as they help make the world a better place! YSA empowers youth to “lead ASAP” through Awareness, Service, Advocacy, and Philanthropy. When youth #LeadASAP, they acquire the skills they need to be successful in life – skills like empathy, creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration. If you are an organization or K-12 school that provides opportunities for youth to BE FEARLESS BE KIND and then to #LeadASAP, we are offering grants up to $2,000 each to support high quality, youth-led service projects that take place between September 18 – December 15, 2017.”
