Rural Youth Leaders is a new collaborative initiative rooted in place, culture, and the transformative power of youth leadership.
Launched by Partners for Rural Impact and Clear Creek Creative, and shaped in partnership with Liberation in a Generation and Native Americans in Philanthropy, Rural Youth Leaders (RYL) is designed to uplift and invest in the leadership of creative young people and the cultural stewards who support them in rural communities.
Applications due June 16. Applications can be initiated and led by a young person, a cultural steward or an organization. The online application form will require that each member of the team contribute a component of the application so it’s necessary to determine who your team is and gain their commitment to apply together before the June 16 deadline.
