Details:
Comprehensive school health programs require youth involvement to create environments conducive to healthy, resilient, and successful learners. As part of the Department of Public Instruction’s (DPI) efforts to encourage youth initiatives, they are offering the Student Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse (AODA) Mini-Grant Program for the 34th year, in the 2022- 2023 school year. Funds will be available on a competitive basis for schools throughout the state to support education, prevention, and intervention programs designed by students, targeting AODA and other youth risk behaviors to include commercial tobacco use, violence, bullying, suicide, and alcohol traffic safety (ATS). A primary funding priority of the mini-grant program is the involvement of youth in the planning and implementation of the project. Therefore, youth involvement in the planning and implementation of the Student AODA Mini-Grant Program is required. Consideration will also be given based on the educational value of the project and statewide geographic distribution of funds.
Funding Information
- Each funded project may be awarded up to $1,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- Any group of students from a Wisconsin public school, grades K-12, can fill out the application that describes a prevention or wellness project in which they are interested.
- Each student group may only apply for a single project, although a school or district that has multiple groups may submit multiple applications. Students in a private school may collaborate with a public school but may not apply directly for a student mini-grant.
