Here’s an interesting grant for anyone involved in youth D&D: The Bubel/Aiken Foundation (www.thebubelaikenfoundation.org) and Youth Service America (www.ysa.org) have announced grants of up to $1,000 each to support youth-led and -driven service projects in which youth with and without disabilities serve their communities together. Grants will support youth between the ages of 5 and 25, teachers, youth-leaders, youth-serving organizations, and/or organizations that serve people with disabilities in implementing service projects for National and Global Youth Service Day, April 20-22, 2007 (www.ysa.org/nysd/index.cfm). Projects must be either youth-led or co-led by youth and their adult allies.

Projects can address themes such as the environment, disaster relief, public health and awareness, community education, hunger, literacy, or any issue that applicants identify as a community need. Visit the YSA Web site for complete program information and an application form. Deadline: November 30, 2006
