Youth Development Grants
Begun in January 2000, APNC is a grassroots, issue-based organization that aims to create a safer community, improve the quality of education, provide a voice for youth, preserve affordable and decent housing, and sustain a mixed socio-economically and ethnically diverse community in Albany Park. All throughout young people have been involved in organizational planning, strategy, and public meetings. In particular, they helped plan a park improvement campaign and played a leadership role in speaking about gang and drug activity and the lack of youth programs. APNC received a $25,000 grant to launch a 75-member Youth Council and engage young people in organizing campaigns around specific youth issues, as well as the day-to-day activities of the organization.

Through its new Youth Organizing Experience initiative BISCO seeks to build youth organizing groups in its member congregations as a way to bring youth and adults together to work on issues of concern to them, and to develop a new generation of community leaders in South Louisiana. BISCO received a $30,000 grant in support of this initiative.
