Hope for Youth Grant Program - Funding for Scholarships

Seattle Parks and Recreation is happy to announce that $40,000 has been allocated in our 2013 Hope for Youth Grant program for increasing access to recreational and positive social development activities, by providing scholarships to youth and teens residing in the Seattle area. 

Established sports and youth serving organizations may apply for scholarship funding for low-income youth.  Funding will support outreach efforts to diverse communities to engage youth that may not have participated in the past due to lack of money for participation fees.  This funding will also provide an opportunity for organizations to increase participation by youth from refugee/immigrant communities.

Proposal Due Date: Friday, May 20, 2013
