Mini-Grant Kits
To assist middle and high school student groups in their school safety initiatives, the Youth School Safety Program provides mini-grant kits completely free! These “projects-in-a-box” include youth-friendly materials and activities that were designed by youth for youth.
To request a kit, a student group must submit an application for a project that will be youth-led with at least one adult partner. Kits must be used during the school year and project reflections must be reported by May 31 each year.
Kits focus on the following school safety issues:
Teen Mental Health
Life as a teen can be stressful. Sometimes, we need to be reminded that things will get better. If you are looking for materials and activities to remind your friends and peers “they got this,” these kits can help!
Campus Safety
These kits help empower students to take ownership of safety issues in a practical and visible way. From conducting audits to creating awareness campaigns, students can use these kits for safety-focused initiatives.
Violence Prevention
Inspire your peers to help create a compassionate campus! These kits provide materials, activities, and campaign templates to help your student group build a culture of respect.
Mattering
One of the most important things young people can do is to help every student feel like they matter. These kits can help your student group promote a sense of belonging and value across your campus.
Alcohol & Drug Prevention
Living an alcohol and drug-free life is actually a lot of fun! If you are looking for something to help educate your peers on the harmful effects of alcohol, vaping, marijuana, and other drugs in a relatable way, these kits will work!
Digital
Digital Kits are downloadable projects with everything a student group needs to implement school safety projects at their school.
