Young Activist Application
We help young activists find strategic partnerships with unlikely groups...Faith communities. 

The reality is there are underutilized community resources housed in religious organizations that can fuel change and we want to help young activists access these resources. 

The faith communities we work with are not here to recruit you, but to walk alongside and help further the goals of young activists. Just communicating with younger members of their communities and learning the perspectives and issues that are most important to young adults will help them in many other ways.

We offer grants up to $10k for young activists to work in collaboration with faith communities.  You choose the project, you lead the team, and we'll provide the training, the team, and the funding. 

Does this sound like something you would be interested in?
