"GO OVERBOARD CHALLENGE GRANT" Award-winning young adult novelist Justina Chen Headley, Burton Snowboards, and Youth Venture are co-sponsoring the Go Overboard Challenge Grant to fund the best youth-led ideas to change the world. Justina has a longstanding commitment to tie community service benefiting teens to every single YA novel she publishes. So in honor of her new book, Girl Overboard (where a teen finds her true power through community service), she and her partners are giving away 12 grants, $1,000 each to inspire teens to become changemakers. Eligibility: students ages 12-20 who have an idea to improve their school, neighborhood, city, country, or the world. Students need an adult sponsor, such as a librarian or teacher, to endorse their grant application. Deadline: May 1, 2008. http://www.burton.com/GoOverboardGrant Beth Yoke, Executive Director Young Adult Library Services Association fastest growing division of ALA 50 E.
