KIDS (Kids Involved Doing Service-Learning) Consortium, a nonprofit organization that serves schools and community groups in Maine and throughout New England, and the State Farm Youth Advisory Board, are offering mini-grants for green service-learning projects developed by K-12 schools in New England.
Grants of up to $750 each will support service-learning projects addressing topics 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.
