Individual project grants in the field of youth work

This grant will fund your personal project in the field of youth work. A project is any initiative that will bring new experience, advanced professional skills and allow you to share your ideas with others.

We will support you in collecting the best practices of youth work inspired by EU and UK experts in one podcast or joining an online networking event for youth workers from all over Europe to meet new partners.

The project must involve the EU or UK. We encourage the bilateral flow of experiences, so you can both learn from European experts and share your ideas with local audiences.

What do I get?

From EUR 1,000 to EUR 4,000 to carry out your personal project
Motivation to implement a project you lacked funding for
A signature project for your portfolio that will advance you as a professional in the eyes of your peers and future employers
An opportunity to learn from and share experience with peers from the EU and UK
A chance to get new knowledge and develop managing, leadership, and communication skills

What topic can I choose for my project?

You can choose any topic you find fascinating and relevant for Ukraine, but we are most excited about projects that address the following:

Network development between leaders of youth sector in Ukraine and the EU
Development of new opportunities of youth exchange between Ukraine and the EU
Capacity building of youth non-profit organisations
Inclusion in youth sector

Can I apply?

This opportunity is for you if you are:

A manager or employee of youth centre, youth non-profit organisation, hub, or clusters
A youth worker of the united territorial community, regional, district or municipal state organisation

You can apply either:

On your own. In such a case, you must be a private entrepreneur with corresponding economic activity codes.
In partnership with an employer or other organisation. The organisation must be a registered legal entity with the right to receive grant support: an NGO, LLC, state university, charity fund, etc. The organisation will sign the agreement, receive the grant on its bank account and will be responsible for reporting. However, you must prepare the grant application and lead the project yourself.
