The application period for United Way Perth-Huron’s Youth in Action Grants is now open for 14–24-year-olds who want to address pressing issues among youth in Perth and/or Huron County.

“We are excited to launch our Youth Grants,” said Kristin Crane, United Way Perth-Huron Director of Community Impact and Research. “Projects in previous years addressed everything from mental health awareness and social connection to mentoring and physical well-being. We look forward to seeing the many creative ways young people choose to address important local issues among their peers.”

To be eligible for a grant, the project must be planned and implemented by youth aged 14–24, clearly engage their peers in Perth and/or Huron Counties and have an adult trustee over the age of 25. Grants up to $1,200 are available and the application deadline is October 20. Details regarding criteria and timelines are available HERE.
