SIDNEY — The Shelby County Student United Way is seeking applicants to apply for up to $1,000 for youth programming.
The Shelby County Student United Way will allocate funds up to $1,000 to organizations or groups serving the youth while impacting the Shelby County community.
The Student United Way is made up of local junior and senior leaders from all high schools in Shelby County. They will be working together to determine where the money will be awarded based on what they see as a need in the community.
Applications will be accepted in the following areas: mental health (counseling), substance abuse prevention and food scarcity. Programing should specifically target the youth of Shelby County (18 and younger). Applications are available now and must be submitted on or before March 2, 2018. Applications can be attained at the Shelby County United Way Office or on the organization’s website.
Once applications are submitted, the committee will work to narrow the applications down to a select few who will then be interviewed. After March 8, 2018, applicants will be notified if they have been selected to come before and present their plan of action to the committee. The committee will hear presentations in April and award funds in May.
