Applications open on September 25, 2023, and we estimate closing applications on December 13th, 2023.
This application is for middle and high school aged students to fill out with the support of an adult at their school. Information for the school and staff contact will be required to submit below. This is the first time YouthLine mini grants have a separate application for students, and the same requirements for applying and reporting will be in effect for these student mini grants.
We encourage schools to elevate student perspectives and invite student groups to be creative in engagement with and planning suicide prevention activities. Please consider printing this application with all the questions, and discuss with your students to come to collective agreements before submitting your school's application. School applications that demonstrate positive impact, collaboration with peers, and harnessing inclusive and equitable practices will receive $600.
We are open to various types of proposals from students! Prevention activities may include, but are not limited to:
Campaigns, fairs, walks, art contests, education/trainings for students and families, club support, etc.
Other information:
- Schools or districts applying that have not received a mini grant in the past will be prioritized.
- The schools and districts that receive awards will be expected to use their mini grant funds during this school year and must be able to meet report requirements 4 months after they are awarded.
- Checks will need to be made out to the school building and have correct contact and mailing information.
- Applications will be reviewed as they come in, and we hope to inform schools about their awards within 2-3 weeks. For those receiving awards, checks will be mailed within 2-4 weeks; however, this may vary based on Lines for Life's accounting schedule.
