2016 YALSA/Best Buy Teen Tech Week Mini Grants

for an Outstanding Teen Tech Week Activity for UnderservedTeens



http://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/C7rp6dqkVXAb



   - This grant is designed to encourage outstanding Teen Tech Week
   activities by providing financial assistance, while recognizing YALSA
   members for excellent library services for and with teens, especially those
   teens that lack access to up to date technology. The applicant must plan
   and present an outline for a Teen Tech Week activity that is coordinated by
   a library. The activity must be geared toward teens in your community who
   are underserved or marginalized. YALSA encourages innovative proposals that
   help teens gain skills in using digital media, whether to help with school
   work, explore personal interests or prepare for careers.

   The $1,000 grant, made possible by Best Buy, is to be used to support
   the activity. A total of twenty grants are available. Individual library
   branches within a larger system are welcome to apply. Funds may be used to
   purchase digital media, enhance the library's collection or support a
   particular program activity. Funds may not be used for salaries or for
   food/beverages.

   *Applications are due January 1, 2016.*

   Recipients will be announced the week of January 25, 2016.

   All proposals must feature programs that follow the model for
   programming as outlined in YALSA's Teen Programming Guidelines
   <http://www.ala.org/yalsa/teen-programming-guidelines>. To learn more
