Campus Kitchens participate in some aspect of service-learning every day – and most of them either are housed on a public school campus or somehow work with a public school through a community partnership.

As State Farm and Youth Serve America announced today, these Campus Kitchens are also eligible for a $1,000 grant to complete a semester of service for or with a public school.

The State Farm Good Neighbor Service Learning grants will allot money to programs in the United States and some provinces of Canada that engage youth in service-learning, an effective teaching and learning strategy that promotes student learning, academic achievement, workplace readiness, and healthy communities.

Projects for this grant should follow Youth Serve America’s semester of service guidelines, beginning on MLK Day (January 17, 2011) and culminating on Global Youth Service Day (April 15-17, 2011) – a format familiar to many of The Campus Kitchens Project’s past MLK Day sub-grantees.

To apply, visit the YSA website, take the eligibility quiz, and create a login and password to start the application process.  The application deadline is October 15, 2010.

YSA will host two application webinars, September 7 and October 7, for applicants to learn more about developing a successful project. To register, please sign up by filling out the form here.
