World Connect is inviting all RPVCs to apply for funding for domestic projects. We want you to employ your creativity, interests, experiences, and skills to lead projects that educate, inspire, and empower young people and communities in the United States.

This opportunity is designed to be flexible and creative. We are looking for innovative and thoughtful projects that inspire young people and communities in the U.S. to act and make global connections. This can be through art, education, or any medium that inspires you! Host a global development seminar with people in the industry; found a slam poetry club exploring cross-cultural linkages; organize a potluck dinner with food from all over the world! Whatever your idea is, we want to hear from you. Need inspiration? Check out the examples in the linked guidelines and application.

World Connect will accept applications for grants up to $1,000* on a rolling basis through Monday, July 31, 2017. We will review, provide feedback, and make a final decision on your application within one month. Details are included in the attached application.

Want to set up a call to brainstorm and/or so we can answer your questions? Email Julia, Director of Education and Outreach at jhaney@worldconnect-us.org to schedule a call today!

General Questions? Send them to applications@worldconnect-us.org.
