Deadline: August 31, 2009

KIDS Consortium, with support from State Farm Youth Advisory Board, is offering mini-grants for "green" service-learning projects developed by K-12 schools in New England. Grants of up to $750 will support "green school" service-learning projects, such as energy efficiency and recycling, proposed by K-12 educators, students, and community organizations working with youth.

Funded projects must solve a problem or address a local need related to making schools and neighborhoods healthier and more environmentally sustainable. Students involved in these projects will have an opportunity to participate in a 2010 Green Schools Student Summit in order to share their projects with students from around the region.
