Peace Child International Be the Change! (BTC!) Programme – Small Scale grants for Youth-led Projects
next deadline: 2010-03-31

Peace Child International has created the “Be the Change!” Programme (BTC!) to support young people to get involved in local community action and development projects. They aim to encourage young people to BE THE CHANGE they want to see in their communities and to make it possible we created a small scale grant programme for youth-led projects.

If you are below 25 years old and have a project that concentrates on the development of your community at a local level, take a deep look in the requirements for the grant programme and submit your proposal to Peace Child International.

The Be the Change! desk officers will guide and advise you to identify your own local issues, priorities and problems and also help you to provide your own solutions.

# The kind of projects supported: are projects that are genuinely youth-led
# are projects, which benefit the community rather than an individual need (no support for school fees or personal trips)
# are projects up to £500 with a detailed budget
# have two experienced and committed adults to mentor the project: following the principles of the co-management
# have measures of achievement (indicators) by which projects may be evaluated
# can be either income-generating (funds to start up a small business and creating jobs) or it can be non-income generating (for health, education, environmental clean-up or community improvement) social programmes which are of genuine and lasting community value.

Deadline:

31 March 2010
