Grants of up to €6,900 are available. 

A Youth Initiative is a project devised by young people who will play the key roles in the project to develop their initiative, enterprise and creativity. The young people participate directly in the activities which they should initiate, set up and carry out. This gives young people the opportunity to directly plan and carry out a project, which is an important non-formal learning experience. It encourages young people to consider their contribution and involvement in a local, national and European context. Projects developed by a single group in their country of residence are called National Youth Initiatives.
