Grants open for the Youth Participation and Access program 2009-2011

Local governments and not-for-profit organisations are invited to work in partnership with the State Government to deliver the Youth Participation and Access (YPA) program 2009-2011.

The Youth Participation and Access program is funded by the Office for Youth to deliver a mix of activities for a targeted group of vulnerable young people who face additional barriers to participate in their community. The Office for Youth will provide grants of between $30,000 and $50,000 per annum over three years to successful applicants who deliver a range of activities for young people in local communities.

Potential providers with a demonstrated capacity to deliver effective youth participation activities are encouraged to take up this opportunity to participate in this highly successful program. Both new applicants and current Youth Participation and Access providers are encouraged to apply.

More information on the program, including the YPA Guidelines and the application process, can be found on the Grants@DPCD website. Applications close on 5 September, 2008.

For more information call the Grants Information Line on 1300 366 356.
