Starbucks Youth Action – Funding of up to £2,000 for young people

Do you know some 16-24 years old who could use up to £2,000 to run a community change project in their local area?

We are delighted to announce that Starbucks Youth Action funding is available for young people to deliver a project making a positive difference to people in their community.

The Starbucks Youth Action programme inspires and empowers young people from across the UK and Ireland to make a difference in their communities by applying for funding to bring your ideas to life. As well as supporting the young people to bring to life the projects that mean the most to them, young people benefit from training run by UK Youth and Youth Scotland on managing a budget, working with volunteers and project management.

Want to apply?

The deadline for applications is 9am on 17 March 2014.
