Powered By Service is a bold new initiative to rebrand service and fundamentally change the role of youth in communities. Powered by Service is designed to get young people the world over involved in changing the most pressing problems facing them and their communities—whether it be preventing malaria, stopping the spread of HIV/AIDs, ending gang violence or increasing access to clean water. The goal of Powered By Service is to mobilize over 5,000,000 youth in a global call to service that will ultimately touch the lives of 50 million individuals.
Young people all over the world can participate in Powered By Service. Participants have access to online toolkits and opportunities to apply for financial resources to support their projects. Grants will be awarded to exceptional service ideas so that youth are not only called to serve, but have the tools they need to create real change.
Powered by Service currently has two grants available for youth:
1. Nothing but Nets Grant, sponsored by the United Nations Foundation is designed to help youth create projects that increase awareness and funds for the purchase of bed nets to prevent the spread of malaria in Africa.
2. What's Your Power? Grant sponsored by the Corporation for National and Community Service’s Learn and Serve America is available to fund projects addressing ANY issue.
Powered by Service has also created a Toolkit to educate you about important global issues and identify strategies on how to make change.
