Youth Grant Applications

Apply for a Youth As Resources Grant

Four times a year, Youth As Resources awards grants to area youth groups to assist with community service and service-learning initiatives. Youth must design the service projects themselves and must demonstrate their projects are both educational and of benefit to the community in Kenosha County.

Youth groups may apply to Kenosha County Youth As Resources (YAR) for grants of up to $500. Grant funds may be used to purchase supplies for the project, but may not be used to pay for volunteer time. The Youth As Resources Board reviews all grant applications and then invites youth groups to present their proposals to the board. Following the grant presentation, youth groups will be notified if the YAR Board awarded funding for their proposal.
