[Beth Yoke <byoke@ALA.ORG>]

Disney Minnie Grants Available to Support Youth Service Projects
Deadline: August 30, 2007
http://ysa.org/AwardsGrants/tabid/58/Default.aspx 

From the web site: 
"The Walt Disney Company and Youth Service America are pleased to announce grants 
of up to $500 to support youth-led service projects. These grants support youth 
(ages 5-14) in planning and implementing service projects in their community. 
Teachers, older youth (15-25), youth-leaders, and youth-serving organizations are 
also eligible to apply, provided that they that engage younger youth (5-14) in 
planning and implementing the service. Service can take place between October 1 and 
November 26, 2007. Projects can address themes such as the environment, disaster 
relief, public health and awareness, community education, hunger, literacy, or any 
issue that youth identify as a community need." 

Since literacy is listed as an area of support, perhaps libraries can apply for 
funds to support their Teen Read Week efforts.  Learn about Teen Read Week at
