Project Ignition Offers Teen Driver Safety Service-Learning Grants to High School Students
Project Ignition Offers Teen Driver Safety Service-Learning Grants to High School Students
Project Ignition, a student-led teen driver safety program funded by State Farm and coordinated by the National Youth Leadership Council, has announced the availability of grants for public high schools to help students address teen driver safety through service-learning.
The project, now in its ninth year, offers grants to students and their advisors interested in creating awareness campaigns focused on teen driver safety while using service-learning — a teaching method that combines meaningful community service with classroom instruction. Youth-led teams host events, form community-wide partnerships, work on local and state policy, produce public service announcements, and more.
Public high schools in the United States and the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Ontario, and New Brunswick are invited to apply.
Twenty-five schools will be chosen to receive $2,000 grants to implement their campaigns from January to April 2013. Ten of these schools will be given the opportunity to receive an additional $2,500 to continue their campaigns during the 2013-14 school year. These ten schools will receive an additional $5,000 to support their participation in the National Service-Learning Conference, hosted by NYLC.
For complete program guidelines, the online application, and information on the projects of previous grantees, visit the Project Ignition Web site.
