A Second Chance to Get a Starbucks Youth Action Grant

For a second year in a row, Starbucks is offering grants of up to £2,000 for projects that have a positive impact on young people and their local community.

Starbucks, working in partnership with UK Youth and the Irish Youth Foundation, is offering the Youth Action Grants scheme as a means “to encourage and inspire a generation of young people to take action and create positive local change”.

The scheme offers young people (aged 16 to 24 years) who have great ideas of how to improve their communities, £2,000 in seed funding and volunteer time from local Starbucks partners (employees) to bring their projects to life.

Groups working with young people who want to apply must be based and working in one of the following cities: Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Dublin, Edinburgh, Greater London, Leeds, or Manchester.

Applications should be submitted online via the UK Youth website.

Examples of projects that have already been funded can be found on the Starbucks Youth Action website.

The deadline for applications is 5 March 2012 (9am).
