  • A project must demonstrate the direct involvement of high school students and do one or more of the following:
    • empower and educate young children through direct service
    • provide leadership or raise awareness on an issue that impacts young children
    • improve the quality of life of young children.
  • A project application must be submitted by a teacher, service learning coordinator, or a school administrator (principal, guidance counselor).
  • A project must be complete or able to show evidence of success by the time of its application.
