Raise your Voice

Who

School sports teams, school clubs, and school student government organizations are eligible to apply for the Youth Grants.  The group must have an activities account that the grant money can be transferred into once the grant requirements have been met. The Youth Grants are open to all Anchorage School District high school clubs and teams.

What

Submit an ASD “Raise Your Voice” Youth Grant by Friday, Jan. 14. If your application is accepted, you’ll create and produce your media and then show it at your school.  Your media could even make it onto TV, the radio or be displayed in places around town.

video • public service announcement • animation • poster • computer desktop images • comics • songs • world in Second Life • 'zine • dance •
your own idea!

How

Create and produce an original piece of media that is about some aspect of underage drinking. Your message must be new, unique, and innovative. Be a pioneer! Be ground-breaking in coming up with a message teens have never heard before! All media submitted must be original and must be both created and produced by students, not adults.

Why

Use your superhero powers for the good!  You can have a positive influence on your school while earning $1200.  Why not get paid for being creative and for challenging teen drinking?
