New Grant Opportunity

There's a new grant opportunity for students ages 12-20, sponsored by author Justina Chen Headley, Burton Snowboards, and Youth Venture:

“GO OVERBOARD CHALLENGE GRANT”
Award-winning young adult novelist Justina Chen Headley, Burton Snowboards, and Youth Venture are co-sponsoring the Go Overboard Challenge Grant to fund the best youth-led ideas to change the world.  Justina has a longstanding commitment to tie community service benefiting teens to every single YA novel she publishes.  So in honor of her new book, Girl Overboard (where a teen finds her true power through community service), she and her partners are giving away 12 grants, $1,000 each to inspire teens to become changemakers.  Eligibility:  students ages 12-20 who have an idea to improve their school, neighborhood, city, country, or the world.  Students need an adult sponsor, such as a librarian or teacher, to endorse their grant application.
Deadline:  May 1, 2008.
