Hello, BOOSTers,

Happy April! This month, we're highlighting youth and community service for National Youth Service Day, beginning on Friday, April 12. Make sure you recognize a young leader or thank a youth service worker, and take a look at some of the youth service related job listings, grants, articles, and other resources this month on BOOST Cafe

Also to note, we are gearing up for the 12th annual BOOST Conference on April 30 - May 3 in Palm Springs, where we'll be celebrating the best of the in and out-of-school time and expanded learning fields. We have been working very hard to bring you so many wonderful resources on BOOST Cafe, thank you for all that you do in your programs and communities each day. We hope to see you soon in Palm Springs!

Best,
TEAMBOOST
BOOST Cafe Funding Opportunities

Funding Opportunities

BOOST Cafe Funding Opportunities include Grants, Scholarships, Awards, and Contests sorted by category, amount, and grade level. Each opportunity includes the deadline to apply. 


National Youth Awards Program for Energy Achievement
All NEED schools have outstanding classroom-based programs in which students learn about energy. Some schools have student leaders who extend these activities into their communities. To recognize outstanding achievement and reward student leadership, The NEED Project conducts the National Youth Awards Program for Energy Achievement.
Free to participate, this program combines academic competition with recognition to acknowledge everyone involved in NEED during the year - and to recognize those who achieve excellence in energy education in their schools and communities. The students and teachers set goals and objectives, and keep a record of their activities. In April, the students combine their materials into presentations and submit them online.
 
Deadline to Apply: April 18th
 
Street Outreach Program (SOP)
The purpose of the Street Outreach Program (SOP) is to provide prevention and intervention services to runaway, homeless, and street youth who have been subjected to or are at risk of being subjected to sexual abuse, sexual exploitation, and severe forms of trafficking in persons. The goal of the SOP is to increase young people’s personal safety, social and emotional well-being, self-sufficiency, and to help them build permanent connections with families, communities, schools, and other positive social networks. These services, which are provided in areas where street youth congregate, are designed to assist such youth in making healthy choices and to provide them access to shelter and services which include:
*Street-based education and outreach
*Access to emergency shelter
*Survival aid
*Individual assessments
*Trauma-informed treatment and counseling
*Prevention and education activities
*Information and referrals
*Crisis intervention
*Follow-up support
 
Deadline to Apply: April 29th
 
Community Grants
The Community Grant Program is premised on the belief that those involved on the front lines of the educational system often have unique insight into small but significant needs or innovations that are often overlooked. Front-line education workers in Boston, Hartford, New York City, Providence and Washington, D.C., may apply for grants from Brown Rudnick Center for the Public Interest to fully fund a specific, one-time future education-related need or idea that promises to improve inner-city education. Applications must address the need or idea within one year of the grant award and support initiatives within city boundaries. The Foundation generally considers grant applications monthly and awards grants in amounts totaling no more than $2,000 in any one month.
 
Deadline to Apply: Ongoing
