Young Women and Social Change
Youth Venture Minnesota is excited to team up with the Starbucks Foundation to help young women make a more positive impact on their communities – by helping you turn your ideas into reality.
Come up with a creative idea for how you can improve health, the environment, nutrition, education, poverty, etc. and we will help you launch your own project or “venture.”
Youth Venture Minnesota will give you support and even seed funding of up to US$1,000 to put your ideas into action.
If you have an idea or if your school or organization would like Youth Venture to host a workshop and help you come up with ideas, please contact Spectra Myers at smyers@youthventure.org or call 612.455.1628. All requests must be made by March 15, 2010.

Here’s the step-by-step guide for how to take part in the Young Women and Social Change Challenge:
1) Dream It:
Come up with a creative (fun?) idea for improving your communityt. The bigger the impact the better. Be original. Need inspiration? Check out www.GenV.net section to see what youth around the world are doing to make an impact.
2) Share It and Plan it:
Send us your idea in just 200 words. Tell us: what’s your new idea, how you will create change, and what impact will you make. We'll walk you through the rest of the application process and make sure you get feedback and support from great women leaders.
3) Do It:
Submit your action plan and present your project to a panel of mentors to receive feedback and advice. Once approved, you will receive your grant, and you are then ready to launch your venture. Do it!
