$300 mini-grant Campaign
EMPOWERING CAMPAIGNS
I Run This Town Campaign was developed to encourage youth to find creative outlets to express themselves, introduce their mentors, explore their talents, and discover ways to impact their communities. Youths are required to produce a project using video, art, poetry, music, any artistic way, demonstrating how they impact their community, achieve their goals, and share what makes them feel empowered to one day run this town. I Run This Town Campaigns are offered once every quarter and winners are selected and awarded a $300 mini grant.
