The objective of the Youth Development Grant program is to increase the capacity of youth serving community-based organizations to expand service to City of Atlanta students. It is based on the core values of the City’s overall Youth Engagement Strategy: 1) equitable approaches to engagement, 2) education and access, 3) enrichment and development, and 4) empowerment and positive self-efficacy. Grants will be made to existing, community-based nonprofit organizations that provide innovative programming in need of additional funding to increase capacity to serve local students disproportionately impacted by COVID-19.
