DescYouth POLICY-MAKING - MIkva Challenge works with students and public officials to facilitate youth policy councils that help city leaders create and implement more effective public policy in regards to youth. Using our "think tank" summer process, young people research intensively a current issue or problem facing a city department or leader (i.e. the Mayor, the Health Commissoner, the Supt. of Schools) and create policy recommendations on this topic. The policy solutions are then discussed with the key decision maker and together the youth and adult partner work on implementing some of the policy recommendations.Desc

ExplanationMini-grants are a process where schools submit a project and budget for approval by our youth philanthropy students and staff. Each project is evaluated by students and budgets are reviewed for each project. The mini-grants are approved by a committee and an award letter is sent for signature. If the project is approved an award letter is sent stipulating the award amount and Mikva Challenge can verify at any time. Many of the projects culminate at our Action Civics Showcase, however there are others that are school-based and continue into the school year. Funds are distributed for the awards and receipts must be kept by the grantee. Projects contain a budget. Teacher grants are given based on participation in our Elections, Action Civics Showcase and/or our Soapboax. Agreements are signed by the teacher with deliverables and signed off by principals. Each teacher receives their teacher grant at the end of each program cycle. Staff work with individual teachers on the components outlined in the agreement to ensure the deliverables are met. Student stipends are paid to students during the school year for their participation on our youth councils and decision maker meetings. The stipend amount is based on attendance and participation. It can be prorated based on these values.ExplanationTxt
