Youth Educator Grant Program

Youth Educator Grant Program

The North Central Region SARE (NCR-SARE) recognizes that youth programs are a way to introduce new and exciting farming and ranching options to youth, parents, and community members.

The program supports opportunities for youth educators to research, demonstrate, and learn more about sustainable agriculture. Youth Educator Grants are competitive grants for educators to provide programming on sustainable agriculture for youth. $2,000 maximum.

NCR-SARE can provide grant applications, reports from other projects, lists of funded projects, or other sustainable agriculture information.

Before writing a grant proposal, determine a clear project goal and explore previous research. It often helps to contact NCR-SARE, local agriculture groups, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and/or Extension educators to share ideas and invite participation.

To receive more information about the NCR-SARE Youth Educator Grant Programs’ proposal processes and timelines, contact the NCR-SARE office.

Sustainable Agriculture Coordinators

SARE provides funds to land grant universities to assist extension educators, farmers, and other stakeholders in developing education activities in sustainable concepts and systems. The funds help equip ag educators with tools they need to help farmers face change.

SARE sustainable agriculture coordinators in every state and island protectorate are charged with training agriculture professionals in sustainable practices and sharing SARE project results with them.

State coordinator responsibilities include professional development—promotion, networking and coordination, especially of SARE-related activities—and communication and evaluation.
