CTCNet is pleased to announce the 2006 Youth Visions for Stronger
Neighborhoods grants program!
Youth Visions for Stronger Neighborhoods Grants
Request for Proposals
Deadline to Apply: September 30, 2005
www.ctcnet.org/youthvisions
CTCNet will award Youth Visions grants to eight community technology
programs throughout the U.S. Each grantee will receive $20,000 and must
contribute at least $8,000 in non-federal matching funds. Orientation
and preparation for selected programs will begin in December 2005.
Program operations will begin in January 2006 and the program must be
completed by July 30, 2006.
Youth Visions grants are designed to give youth and community technology
programs the opportunity to use multimedia tools and training to engage
in community decision-making to strengthen their neighborhoods.
Organizations that serve at-risk youth (ages 14-18), are engaged in
community partnerships, and have experience providing video and other
multimedia training are eligible. CTCNet will provide a flexible
curriculum and evaluation support for a 5-6 month program integrating
community-based activities and multimedia training. Additionally, each
grantee organization will be required to host a capacity-building
workshop to help other youth-serving organizations learn to use
multimedia tools to promote youth engagement in their communities.
CTCNet will be hosting two application assistance calls to describe the
Youth Visions grant program in more detail and to answer questions from
applicants. These calls will be held on:
· Wednesday, September 7th at 1pm EST / 10am PST
· Thursday, September 15th at 4pm EST / 1pm PST
Applicants must be willing to take part in a participatory process aimed
at building a strong curriculum and evaluation methodology that may be
used by future sites engaged in the program.
To learn more about the grant, including eligibility requirements, how

The Youth Visions for Stronger Neighborhoods program is made possible
through a generous grant from the Corporation for National and Community
Service's Learn and Serve America program (www.learnandserve.org).
