In 2023, Riley’s Way will award up to $3,000 to as many as 36 youth-led projects rooted in the values of kindness, empathy, youth leadership, and inclusive community that tackle anything from equity and social justice issues to building meaningful connections in a school or community. At least ten of the selected projects will be specifically focused on environmental justice.

Winners will also participate in a leadership development fellowship. Youth ages 13 to 22 that are living in the United States are eligible to apply.
