That’s why we’re eager to share meaningful opportunities—including scholarships, awards, and funding for youth-led initiatives—provided by organizations that align with our mission.
Youth ages 5-25 in the U.S. and Canada can apply for Hershey Heartwarming Young Heroes GYSD Grants to lead service projects that build inclusive, empathetic communities during Youth Service Month (April 11–May 11, 2025). Grants of $250 or $500 will be awarded to youth-led initiatives that engage peers in awareness, service, advocacy, and philanthropy.
The Contribution Project offers $400 grants to individuals aged 14-25 in the 20-county area surrounding Cincinnati, including parts of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, to implement community improvement projects. Applications for the Spring 2025 cycle are open from February 1 to 21, with 50 spots available thanks to a grant from Interact for Health.
