Leadership Grant
In honor of the leadership of our co-founders, Danny Weinstein and Hully Fetico, Seven Tepees offers a special youth leadership grant program. Individual youth initiatives are supported in the following areas:
- Leadership training
- Service projects (open to various geographic areas)
- Creative ventures & small businesses
- Projects that improve the lives of other youth or the community
Seven Tepees students can apply for the Founderâs Grant by finding a staff "sponsor" and submitting an application. Interested students must also present their idea to the Seven Tepees Board, with the proposed timeline, budget and potential benefit to the community. Grants are awarded each spring and are up to $3,000.
