📣As our YES Grants program grows, we are making a few changes that will help provide youth with a positive experience as they pursue their goals in leading community service projects.

✅ NEW TIMELINE:

We are shifting the timeline for the 2027 application process to open a few months earlier. Please note there will be a slight overlap as 2026 YES grant recipients will be wrapping up your 2026 reports and potentially, simultaneously applying for a 2027 grant. The 2027 application portal opens September 15, 2026.

✅ NEW SOFTWARE:

We are piloting new software that will hopefully make the application and reporting processes easier to navigate. Like in past years, the application portal will be linked from our YES Grants webpage at in4h.org/grants once it opens on September 15.

READ MORE about the new timeline and more 2027 dates on our blog at in4h.org/yes-grants-changes.

❓Any questions? You can email us at [email protected].
