Project Ignition Grants (Deadline: June 30)

Sponsored by State Farm® and coordinated by the National Youth Leadership Council® (NYLC), Project Ignition returns for another exciting year! Project Ignition is a grant program that uses service-learning to help address teen driver safety issues. These grants support students in grades 9 through 12 and their teachers or advisors to work together to develop a campaign to address the issue of teen driver safety in your community. Grants will be awarded to a maximum of twenty-five (25) selected programs. The grantee's school will receive a $2,000 grant, funded by State Farm®, to implement their program in the fall of 2009. Each year, schools whose campaigns are judged to be among the top 10 in the nation receive $5,000 to help cover expenses to come to The National Service-Learning Conference. There, they showcase their great work, one campaign is named the Best of the Best and that team presented with a $10,000 grant to continue its teen driver safety efforts.
