Youth: Ways To Get Involved with FYSB
Youth Can Serve as Grant Reviewers
FYSB seeks youth, typically between the ages of ages of 19 and 24,
to serve as grant reviewers for FYSB-funded grant programs.
A grant reviewer is a person who has expertise in the areas applicable
to a particular grant program (e.g., youth development, runaway or
homeless youth, mentoring); can effectively analyze grant applications
against criteria; can clearly express his or her evaluation in writing;
and is interested in contributing to the advancement of knowledge.
Grant review panels are selected to reflect diversity with regard
to geographic area, range or type of experience, ethnicity, and gender.
Most reviews take place onsite in the Washington, DC area. Some reviews
are Internet-based and do not require travel. Grant reviewers receive
compensation for their services, and meals and housing are typically
provided for onsite reviews, as well as training sessions for all
levels of reviewers.
