[OYAN] Grant opportunity to do book club with at-risk teens, application due 4/15

[Katie Anderson]

I thought many of you working with at-risk teens may be interested in the Great Stories Club program for at-risk teens that is supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities and ALA's Public Programs Office.

There is a new grant opportunity for libraries to get books and training to run a Great Stories Club in their community. Eligible libraries are located within or working in partnership with organizations that serve at-risk youth, such as alternative high schools, juvenile justice organizations, homeless shelters, foster care agencies, teen parenting programs, residential treatment facilities and other nonprofit and community agencies. Below is the original information I received.

Grant deadline: April 15, 2016
More information: http://programminglibrarian.org/articles/apply-now-great-stories-club-art-change
Grant application: https://apply.ala.org/greatstories
Questions: Email ALA's Public Programs office at publicprograms at ala.org<mailto:publicprograms at ala.org>

Thanks,
Katie

Subject: Pls share - Apply now for the Great Stories Club
Hi Suzanne,

We in ALA's Public Programs Office have just announced a new grant opportunity. Would you mind sharing it with your colleagues and members?

You may have heard of the Great Stories Club, a book club program for at-risk teens, created with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. We are now offering a new theme of the Great Stories Club under the theme "The Art of Change: Creation, Growth and Transformation." This round features three books with protagonists that use the arts to overcome personal challenges.

You can find more information about the grant on the Programming Librarian website: http://programminglibrarian.org/articles/apply-now-great-stories-club-art-change.

Thanks, as always, for your help!
