GET $$$ TO CREATE YOUR OWN COMMUNITY
CLEAN-UP!
DO YOU HAVE IDEAS ON HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR COMMUNITY BUT DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THE MONEY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN?
CYL wants to fund 10 Young Leaders in starting their own small community clean-up in their neighborhood! These small grant funds will help put the power in your hands to support a cleaner neighborhood.
This is an opportunity to host your own neighborhood clean-up. This is a fully-funded opportunity, meaning that you will receive all the materials, resources and some extra funds to be successful in your project!
THE FIRST 10 APPLICATIONS WILL GET:
- Trash clean-up materials
- Snacks
- A how-to guide in creating their own trash clean-up
- A small gift card for any other materials you need
- AND the youth leader whose team collects the most trash will receive a gift card in recognition of their hard work!
BONUS POINTS to leaders who host their projects directly in their neighborhood to limit the need to drive to the project site, or those who take public transportation or an active mode of transportation (walking, biking, scootering).
Priority neighborhoods include: Green Valley Ranch, Mar Lee Montbello, Park Hill, Ruby Hill, Sun Valley; youth living in other neighborhoods are still encouraged to apply. Funds can only be distributed for those taking place in the City of Denver.
Projects are reviewed on a rolling basis until December 1 or until funds run out! Apply early!
