Are you a student, teacher, or youth club looking to create positive change in your community and raise awareness about alcohol and drug prevention? The ATOD Mini-Grants offer up to $1,000 in funding for projects that promote an alcohol-and-drug-free lifestyle through creative advocacy. Clubs can apply for up to two (2) grants to support various project needs, such as supplies, equipment, field trips, promotional materials, or food for events. Any youth club or class with access to a school or club account is eligible to apply, but not that funds must go through a school or club account, not individuals.

 

SCOE's Youth Development Services (YDS) is here to support each mini-grant project, providing guidelines, educational materials, and technical assistance throughout the project timeline.
