Youth Leadership Development Grant funds are Available!
The Synod of the Northeast greatly values the gifts of our young people and is committed to welcoming and celebrating their presence and leadership in all levels of our community's engagement.
Young people not only represent the leadership of our future, but their voices also guide our present moment as – together – we build a community that is mindful of generations to come. The Synod of the Northeast seeks to support the development of youth leadership skills and the amplification of youth voices both within the church and beyond. We are excited to offer Youth Leadership grants to initiatives, both new and sustained, that lift up and strengthen the leadership of young people.
