2022 Mini Grants Application for Youth Clubs
2022 Directing Change Mini Grants Application - Youth Clubs
The Directing Change Program & Film Contest engages youth to learn about the topics of suicide prevention and mental health by creating short films that are used to support awareness, education, and advocacy efforts across the state, in their communities, and on their campuses. Participants have a chance to win cash prizes, meet with professional filmmakers, and attend an award ceremony in May.
Eligible Organizations: Bring Change to Mind clubs, NAMI on Campus clubs, and GSA Network clubs in California. Participating youth should be in grades 6-12. Clubs at public, private, and charter schools and districts are all eligible to apply.
Mini Grant Funding: $1,000
Requirements:
Participate in a Directing Change Suicide Prevention 101 Training for Youth during the 2021-2022 school year. At least one student from a participating club should attend, although we encourage all students to participate.
Facilitate participation of at least one club in the Directing Change program during the 2021-2022 school year, resulting in a minimum of two film or art submissions by the submission deadline: March 1, 2022.
Plan and implement an awareness event on campus or virtually which includes screening of the youth-produced films to peers and/or parents in May 2022.
Provide a final report including feedback about the experience and photos from the awareness event by May 15, 2022.
