MTV and Youth Venture Announce New Grant Program for
Young People
Deadline: Rolling, through December 31, 2005
MTV: Music Television ( www.mtv.com/ ) has announced the launch of
its new pro-social initiative, think MTV, which is designed to inform and
empower young people to take action on social issues.
As part of its effort to encourage its audience to become more proactive
in their communities, MTV has teamed up with Youth Venture (
www.youthventure.org/ ), a movement of youth social entrepreneurs,
to offer think Venture Grants to young people who are making a difference
by creating and leading organizations, clubs, or businesses that address a
need in their communities. Grants of up to $1,000 each will be offered each
week to a group of young people with the most compelling and sustainable
community service project concept in one of the five primary think MTV
issue areas: discrimination, education, the environment, global issues, and
sexual health.
Grant recipients will also receive access to selected educational
resources and tools from Youth Venture, including a Youth Venture Start-Up
Kit; access to a national network of young "venturers" and a "venturers-
only" Web site; and information about scholarships and speaking
opportunities.
The program is open to groups of two or more individuals who are legal
residents of the United States and at least thirteen years of age or older
at time of entry.
Visit the Youth Venture Web site for complete grant program information.
