Hi all,

For people 12-20, check out the below opportunity to apply for $1000 for a youth-led sustainability project by Dec 31. You need a team of at least 3 people in the age range.

Here's some ideas of what this could be used for:

- Funding (particularly prize $) for the National Campus Energy Challenge if we can get 3+ people below 20 to apply.
- Funding/ maybe a stipend for someone in YEA MN to lead high school activism in MN
- A project at Macalester or another TEAM school by folks under 20 to do something cool
- Some Cooperative Energy Futures minor seed $ (could be quick timeline - in time for incorporation) if we can find a 3rd person 20 or younger.
- Small-scale seed funding for something related to the Summer of Solutions

December 31 is the final deadline, they do give out awards before that deadline, so this could be really quick turn-over. The application requires a 200-word description and a 200 character description of yourself. You could probably do it in under an hour if you have pictures ready.

Remember, you're only eligible if you are 20 or younger (and older than 12).

Go for it!
