Description:

WaysToHelp.org invites teens in the United States to apply for grants (up to $500) to fund their community service ideas across any one of 16 issue areas, including clean water, land preservation, global warming and recycling.

Grant requests are reviewed and responded to on a monthly basis.

Become part of a growing number of socially aware people making a difference:

  • Find issues about which you are passionate
  • Find ways to help that fit your lifestlye
  • Encourage your friends to do the same

We exist to engage, inspire and enable high school students to make a positive difference in the world. We do this by making it easy for them to learn about, and take action against, 16 of today's most pressing social issues in the following areas: the environment, democracy and equality, health, and community issues. At the highest level, we help teens engage in:

  • Saving the environment
  • Improving conditions in their communities
  • Helping people in need

About WaysToHelp:
WaysToHelp was founded in July, 2009 by David Boyer, a former executive who left corporate America to fulfill his dream of motivating teens to volunteer, and a small group of people from eBay, JP Morgan Chase, McKinsey & Company, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, the Posse Foundation, Ronald McDonald Charities and Stanford University. It exists to engage, inspire and enable high school students to make a positive difference in the world. It does this by making it easy for them to learn about, and take action on, sixteen of today's most pressing social issues as well as providing teens & schools with toolkits to improve in-school food and volunteer drives.
