The program jump-starts Native youth’s dreams by providing ten $10,000 grants to teams of Native youth and mentor organizations that work together to bring the young person’s dream project to life. Applications are now open for the 2018-2019 grant period for projects around the theme of science and the environment.
This is a terrific opportunity to grow leadership skills, get support for a dream project, and join a prestigious network of Dreamstarter fellows. American Indian youth between ages 14 and 29 are encouraged to apply.
