Youth Community Action Heroes

GenerationOn, the youth division of the Points of Light Institute, and Hasbro, Inc., invite young people to use their summer to take action and make their mark through the summer 2012 "The World Needs MoreCommunity Action Heroes" campaign. 

Bringing together the nation's leading youth service organizations and programs under one umbrella, generationOn is a global youth service movement that works to inspire, equip, and mobilize youth to take action that changes the world, and themselves, through service.

Ten mini-grants of $500 are available to select applicants who participate in community service projects over the summer and report on the projects at the generationOn Web site. Young people ages 13 and older are eligible for the grant.

Deadline: August 20, 2012
