New England Roots & Shoots Offers World Harmony Mini-Grants!

Roots & Shoots, a service-learning program of The Jane Goodall Institute, is excited to announce grants of $300 - $700 to support youth-led service projects in New England. Up to 10 mini-grants will support youth groups (pre-K through college age) in planning and implementing service projects.

We encourage youth to address the theme of “Promoting Engagement in World Harmony.” This is based upon a recent initiative of the Roots & Shoots New England Youth Leadership Council; they seek to translate a vision of World Harmony into speech, art or action.

The Mini-Grant Application is available at: http://nerootsandshoots.blogspot.com/2008/02/roots-and-shoots-announces-world.html or you can get a copy from me, Christine Ellersick, Roots & Shoots New England Regional Manager: cellersick@janegoodall.org. Feel free to share this information.
