Summary: Supports adult-led groups in Midland County to increase youth participation, safety, and access through reusable, impactful projects and materials.
The Midland Area Youth Action Council Invested Adult Mini-Grant provides small-scale funding to groups of dedicated adults—such as advisors to student clubs, booster clubs, and parent-teacher organizations—who work with youth in Midland County. The grant is designed to support innovative projects in schools and youth-serving groups, help students who might otherwise be unable to participate, improve safety, and reduce the need for adult-led fundraising. Emphasis is placed on projects that offer lasting benefits, particularly those that remove participation barriers and serve youth in rural areas. Funding is intended for reusable materials or supplies rather than one-time experiences.
