Global youth work grants

Y Care International has provided funding for global youth work since 2008. With funding from the UK Government’s Department for International Development, we are able to provide a variety of different sized grants for youth work organisations and young people.

Global Take Action Grants - Open

Global Take Action Grants (GTAGs) are £1,000 grants for young people to learn about, raise awareness of, and take action on global issues. We have four of these grants for short global youth work projects.

Our GTAG funding stream is now open and we are accepting applications from all groups of young people aged 13-25. Applications can be made using any format as there is no set form.

For information on how to apply please see this Information Pack.

The deadline for applications is 5pm Friday 8 June 2012. We will contact successful candidates know by 15 June.
All projects must be completed by 31 October 2012.

Global Youth Work in Action - Closed

Y Care International’s Global Youth Work in Action (GYWiA) grants programme offers funding for innovative projects that work with marginalised young people in the UK.

We support projects that enable marginalised young people aged primarily between 13 and 25 who experience disadvantage or discrimination to explore the global dimension of issues that affect their lives and which bring about positive change.

In 2012-13 we are proud to support the following organisations:
• Bournemouth YMCA
• Derbyshire YMCA
• Ovalhouse
• Plymouth YMCA
• Somerset Racial Equality Council
• Southend YMCA

For more details on their projects, please see this press release.
