Communities in Action is a collaboration between our current New Church Development and Public Mission Committees. This collaboration aspires to support one another in discovering ways to respond with love and courage in their communities.

This year, the ABCNJ Communities in Action grant will focus on nurturing the overall well-being of the youth in your local community. 

Empowering young people is essential for fostering a vibrant and inclusive society. This grant aims to support projects that inspire and involve youth ages 8-21 through creative, educational, and service-oriented initiatives. 

Applicants are encouraged to propose programs that promote leadership, cultural awareness, environmental stewardship, and social justice. This grant is a platform to nurture the next generation of community leaders and change-makers, and your proposals can play a significant role in this mission.

We are excited to see the innovative and impactful ways you will engage with and uplift the young members of your community. Your unique perspective and ideas can help us create a brighter future where every young person has the chance to thrive and make a difference. 

The deadline for submission is September 5, 2024. We look forward to receiving your proposals.
