Parents, is your child a natural leader, a creative problem-solver, or someone who just loves to help? The Watertown Unified School District’s Advanced Learning Department is looking for student changemakers in grades K–12 to take the lead!
The Student Mini Grant Program gives students the chance to act as project managers for their own ideas. Through the generous support of our local business community, seed money is available to help our students turn their ideas into action.
The Details:
Classroom Projects: Teachers can lead their entire class in a project with a grant of up to $100.
Student Projects: Individual students or small groups can apply for up to $50.
The Support: Students choose their own Mentor (a parent, teacher, or older student) to act as a consultant and guide.
Real-World Skills: From budgeting to project management, students learn what it takes to be a visionary leader.
Important Note: Because we want to ensure every project is set up for success, our team will review all proposals based on originality and community impact. While we wish we could fund every idea, grants will be awarded to the most prepared and impactful proposals.
How to Apply: Students can pick up an application in their school’s Main Office. Proposals are due by February 27. Let’s empower our students to stop waiting for change and start leading it!
Sincerely,
Stacci Barganz, BA, MS, NBCT (pronunciation: "bargains")
