Mayor Hancock Launches First Race & Justice Design Challenge Mini-Grants Initiative

by co9to25

Applications from residents and civic organizations to be accepted until April 1

DENVER – Mayor Michael B. Hancock and the Office of Human Rights and Community Partnerships (HRCP) today announced the launch of the 2016 Race and Justice Design Challenge Mini-Grants, a new initiative to help develop community-owned and driven projects around the issues of race and justice in the city.

 

“Together, I believe we can find ways to better relationships between our safety officials and communities,” Mayor Hancock said. “Denver is filled with amazing, diverse and creative-minded individuals who we ask to bring their new and fresh perspectives on race and justice issues facing our city today.”

 

The challenge was developed as a result of recommendations gathered from young people, community advocates and residents during dozens of race and justice meetings held across the city during 2014 and 2015.

 

The Design Challenge winning applications will help facilitate community programming that:

  • Unites youth and law enforcement officers to create stronger, unified neighborhoods among diverse ethnicities and cultures resulting in more connected neighborhoods and behavioral change;
  • Demonstrates the ability to build partnerships with local neighborhoods from diverse backgrounds;
  • Identifies and addresses community needs to elevate quality of life, problem solve, and promote sustainability; and
  • Builds sustainable partnerships between neighbors, civic organizations, schools, churches and neighborhood institutions through community conversations, art, and interactive workshops to inspire hope and restore safety.

 

The city will accept applications from residents and civic organizations until April 1. Grant applications will be reviewed by the HRCP Advisory Board, which is made up of leadership from the Mayor’s Community Commissions. On April 27, the finalists will compete for a total of $20,000 in grants. Winners will be announced on April 29.

 

The maximum grant amount is $3,000, which will be matched with in-kind support, volunteer hours or other grants or funding sources coordinated by the applicant.

 

Additional information is available on the HRCP website, or you may contact Shawn Johnson, Director of Community Affairs, at 720.865-9052 orShawn.Johnson@denvergov.org.

StudySoup scholarship for $2000, definitely check it out!

by co9to25

About StudySoup

We launched the StudySoup peer-to-peer learning marketplace in 2014. When we were in school, we found that success in the classroom can be a pretty ambiguous thing. Every class has hours of lectures and dozens of readings. Come midterm time, most students are overwhelmed and have no idea how they should study. Without fail, however, there are always a few top students in the class who know exactly what it takes to be successful. We decided to empower those top students to help their peers, and make money, by posting their best study materials to StudySoup.com.

At the end of the day, learning from your peers is the best way to learn, because after all, who understands your questions better than someone else in the class?

Scholarship Details

As a company driven to help students succeed, we know that college is an important step along many career paths, but it can be expensive. Students can upload notes to StudySoup.com to lighten their financial burden. However, we still felt like we could do more to give back to the future leaders of the world. Therefore, we are offering a $2,000 scholarship each semester to outstanding students who exemplify one or more of StudySoup’s core values:

  • Be a Knight
  • Make an Impact
  • Succeed Together

You may have mentored a fellow student, organized a fundraiser for charity, or gone on a humanitarian trip abroad. Whatever your achievements, we want to hear from you!

Scholarship Eligibility

Any legal U.S. resident at least eighteen (18) years old who meets one of the following criteria:

  • Currently attending attending high school and will be attending an accredited university or college in the next academic year
  • Currently attending an accredited university or college (undergraduate and graduate students are both eligible)

GYSD To Do List: No Poverty. Zero Hunger. Decent Work.

by co9to25
There’s only one month to go until Global Youth Service Day (April 15-17)!

Eradicating poverty in all its forms remains one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. While the number of people living in extreme poverty has dropped by more than half - from 1.9 billion in 1990, to 836 million in 2015 - too many are still struggling for the most basic human needs. Ending poverty is one of 17 Sustainable Development Goals. A related Global Goal is to end all forms of hunger and malnutrition by 2030, making sure all people - especially children - have access to sufficient and nutritious food all year round. Here are some ideas for how you can help the world achieve these goals:

No Poverty

  • Gather and share information about the available public programs and resources in your community.
  • Volunteer with a program like Habitat for Humanity to help provide affordable housing.
  • Organize a supply drive to collect clothing, blankets, toiletries, toys, pet food, or even kids’ birthday party supplies for people experiencing poverty or homelessness.

Zero Hunger

  • Plant a community garden.
  • Organize a food drive or fundraiser.
  • Find ways to put surplus food to better use.
  • Volunteer at a local food bank, pantry, shelter, or community kitchen and help prepare, serve or deliver meals to those in need.
  • Help teach families about healthy eating and cooking on a budget.
  • Start or support a backpack feeding program.
  • Raise awareness of summer meal programs.

Decent Work & Economic Growth

  • Host a job or skills training project.
  • Organize a workshop that teaches young people, and adults, about savings, credit and debt.
  • Organize a volunteer fair where local NGOs and community organizations gather to recruit young people in order to help them gain new skills.
Visit GYSD.org for additional ideas and opportunities. Don’t forget to register your project on the GYSD Map and use our promotional tools to tell the world how you’re making a difference!

Protect Planet Earth on Global Youth Service Day

by co9to25

Is protecting the environment important to you? Five of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals are related to environmental issues: SDG #7- Renewable Energy, #12- Responsible Consumption, #13- Climate Change, #14- Life Below Water, and #15- Life on Land. Needless to say, planet Earth needs our love and attention ASAP! Make it your GYSD project with these ideas:

  • Awareness - Educate others about storm water runoff and what they can do about it. Talk with your friends about the quantity of food you throw out and the resulting impact. Decrease plastic waste consumption by encouraging others to use reusable water bottles and tote bags.
  • Service - Organize a coastal clean-up to keep our lakes, rivers, and oceans clean, or organize a “Trash Mob” - a flash mob/race to pick up trash. Host an e-waste recycling drive so that toxic chemicals aren’t released into the environment when people throw away their computers and cell phones.
  • Advocacy - Encourage your local, state, and national public officials to strengthen policies that protect the environment.
  • Philanthropy - Host a fundraiser and donate the proceeds to an organization or charity that focuses on environment initiatives.

Visit the environment cause page on YSA.org for more ideas, then head over to GYSD.org to pick, plan, post, and promote your project.
