Grants and awards
Providing the best youth programs requires funding; it also is nice to be recognized for your efforts, and the efforts of your youth. LearningWork Connection selects youth-related grants and awards available to Ohio residents and organizations.
Awards are given to individuals or organizations based on past actions or behavior. Awards may include cash, travel, or recognition of a job well-done. Grants are normally given to organizations to enable them to begin or continue program activities or provide services. Awards or grants given directly to youth are listed in the Youth Opportunities area.
See also the Youth Program Excellence Award, an annual award for Ohio youth programs, which is sponsored by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and managed by LearningWork Connection.
