The Youth Action 50 initiative builds on the foundation of the NYC Youth Leadership Council (YLC) model by awarding mini-grants to 50 youth-led councils across the city to drive meaningful community change while influencing policy and practice at the city level. In this new initiative, each youth council will receive a $1,000 investment to implement community service projects addressing local needs. Councils will also be matched with advisors working within city government—ensuring youth voices are heard and included in shaping the systems that affect their lives.
Priority application deadline is July 28th and the final deadline is August 22nd!
