The grant provides funds directly to a designated Club Leader who oversees a group of six to twelve students. They engage in four or more off-campus community service activities outside of school hours, completing ten hours of service before the school year concludes.

• 50 Grants are available in the 2023/24 school year to high schools that meet and/or exceed the 40% low income eligibility requirements for student populations as utilized by the federal government ESEA guidelines.

Maximum Grant: $1,500
