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.

ABOUT IRTT CAMPAIGN

As an outstanding student, we want to hear all about how you "I Run This Town!" YRTTF is offering a $300 mini grant to youth throughout L.A. County who submit a creative project (example: video up to 2 minutes, drawing, music song, poetry, photo, powerpoint, letter, etc.) explaining how you impact your community.

The criteria would specifically explain your leadership, civic engagement, and volunteerism in your community. You also have a chance to virtually review and select winning grant recipients in other communities! This is a great opportunity to actively be engaged in leadership and community enrichment.

Here are some questions to focus on when creating your video:

• What are your dreams, goals, aspirations? 

• What motivates you to be a leader in your community? 

• What volunteer/ work experience do you have helping your community?
