Student AODA Mini Grant Program

Introduction

Comprehensive school health programs require youth involvement to create environments conducive to healthy, resilient, and successful learners. As part of the Department of Public Instruction’s efforts to encourage youth initiatives, we are offering The Youth Mini-Grant Program for the eighteenth (18th) year. In the 2007/08 school year, DPI will have approximately $200,000 to fund these projects. Funds will be available on a competitive basis for schools throughout the state to support prevention projects targeting alcohol and other drug abuse (AODA) and other youth risk behaviors such as tobacco, traffic safety, violence, suicide, etc. In addition, a major funding priority of the mini-grant program is the involvement of youth in the planning and implementation of the project. Consideration will be given based on the educational value of the project and statewide geographic distribution of funds. The amount of each individual mini-grant award may not exceed $1,000.
