The Youth Service America is excited to announce the launch of the 15th Annual Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation Youth Grants.
With the generous support of the Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation, they are again offering project grants to youth changemakers—aged 5 to 25—to lead awareness, direct service, advocacy, and philanthropic projects that focus on ending childhood hunger in their communities.
Funding Information
- This year, youth may apply for grants of $500 for projects that engage at least 50 other youth as volunteers (project planners, project leaders, and day-of volunteers) in activities designed to help end childhood hunger in their community.
Eligibility Criteria
- Proposed projects must be youth-led and focus on addressing childhood hunger;
- Projects must take place during the Sodexo Servathon (April 1 – May 31, 2025), with some activity during Youth Service Month (April 11 – May 11, 2025) and/or Global Youth Service Day (April 25-27, 2025) strongly encouraged;
- Projects may take place in schools, colleges/universities, afterschool programs, youth organizations, nonprofits, or faith-based organizations;
- Youth applicants should engage youth not typically asked to serve (including, but not limited to youth with disabilities, youth who are struggling in school, and youth from low-income or underserved communities) as volunteers;
- Youth applicants must live in the United States, and activities must benefit children and families in the United States.
