Funding Opportunity for High Schools and Student Voice

The National Association of Secondary School Principals, in partnership with the MetLife foundation, always a leading supporter of youth & education, have launched a terrific funding opportunity for high schools or jr high schools that want to do a better job of incorporating student voice in the decision they make.

Here is the blurb that they are issuing to encourage students & schools to apply for the funding, up to $5,000 that would be used for a youth voice project of the school's design:

The MetLife Foundation Bridge Builders Grant - With funding from MetLife Foundation, NASSP administers the MetLife Foundation Bridge Builders Grant Program for public middle level and high schools serving large numbers of low-income students and/or underrepresented minorities (40% or more of the student body). Twenty-five grant awardees receive $5,000 to implement a special initiative aimed at building better relationships among adults and students. From this pool of 25, NASSP will select 5 exemplary awardees to participate in a panel presentation at the 2008 NASSP Convention in San Antonio, TX. Learn more online at
