My idea for the grant proposal is a yearly employment program for young teens, preferably those in high school. Working with LIRS, these teens can work/volunteer to help coordinate and run events or programs within LIRS. The goal of this project is to bring about more awareness for their cause, while also educating young minds about what it takes to run an organization like LIRS. This proposal can be run yearly, having students help throughout the year, or have two groups of students help, alternating at the half point of the year. This event could possibly be extended to college students as well, helping during the Winter and Summer while high school students work with LIRS during the Fall and spring. The reason I chose High school students as the primary audience is to help them develop leadership and team skills that will help them, both in their college years and in their future endeavors, the grant money would go towards keeping the students involved, transporting them, etc. However, this program could also be held during each summer, and we could potentially pay the students a stipend to work, building up their resumé with a job opportunity or treat it as an internship.

I think this is a winning idea because it gets the youth involved and offers opportunities that are often difficult for immigrants to find.
What appeals to me most about working on this project is that it teaches the youth not only how to work, but leadership in a high-pressure context.
The role I would like to play in this group would be scheduling and formatting the plan as to how to get them the jobs and opportunities to serve and work.
I believe this is a winning idea because it educates the youth of America about organizations like LIRS and what they do for people in the community. The most appealing about on this project is that the primary audience is high school students because it gives them the opportunity to develop skills they can use throughout their lives. I believe that I can help with the financial part of this project. I have experience with using excel and making budget sheets, I will make sure we are using the money appropriately and we do not go overbudget.
