The Learn and Serve America Youth Engagement Zone Grant aims to improve student engagement, achievement, graduation, and college-going rates. This is achieved by engaging youth in service-learning, fostering civic participation, connecting diverse communities, and building local capacity to address challenges. Eligible partnerships require a community-based entity, local educational agency (serving disadvantaged students with low graduation rates), and a community college. Projects must target areas with under 30% service-learning. Approximately $5.4 million is available for 4-12 awards, each $300,000-$450,000 annually for three years.
