Students in the LEAD 499: Advanced Nonprofit Leadership course applied for and received Youth Grants for Youth Service Month and Global Youth Service Day projects, supported by the Hershey Heartwarming Project.
These grants, totaling $1,000, will enable the students to facilitate community projects they have developed.
“In this applied-learning experience, students not only develop grant-writing skills but also implement their own ideas to support our communities,” said Chance Lee, Ph.D., CNP, assistant professor and director of the nonprofit leadership program at the Staley School of Leadership.
“They then apply their leadership skills within the community, effecting positive change with their original ideas. These grants yield far-reaching impacts beyond what’s immediately evident.”
