If Connections has inspired you to tackle a project to create change at your school, we want to help.
Tell us about your plan and we could provide up to $200 and a mentor to get you started.

Guidelines

  • Team needs to have at least 3 people (including the Team Leader) who have completed Connections 101 (from any cohort)
  • The Team Leader can be one or two people who will serve as the primary point of contact for communication about the project
  • The end date for the project should be included in the plan (#6) and must be completed no later than May 24, 2024.
  • Maximum grant amount is $200 and we hope to fund 3 mini-grants during this round.
  • We will check in with the Team Leader during the funding period for an informal update on progress 
  • Within one month of completing the project,  the Team Leader must submit a final summary of the project (e.g., if the project is completed April 30, the summary is due May 30). The summary should include:
    • What you learned, including tips for others who might want to try the project
    • What challenges you encountered
    • Outcomes of the project (even if they aren’t what you expected)
    • Any evidence may you have that the project helped solved the problem you were trying to address
