The Seattle Parks and Recreation department is once again opening the application process for its annual Hope for Youth Fund. This fund was established to increase access to recreational, athletic, and positive youth development activities for youth ages 11 to 19. Organizations providing youth sports and youth development programs within the City of Seattle are eligible to apply.
Hope for Youth applications can be completed and submitted at seattlepark.gosmart.org beginning Sunday, March 1, 2020 at 7 a.m.
Applications are due by Tuesday, April 14, 2020 by 11:59 p.m. (This is an extension of a previously announced date.)
Hope for Youth funds can be used to support administrative costs or to provide scholarships. For more details, eligibility, and application criteria and timeline, please see the fund guidelines on this page or contact Kathleen Gantz at kathleen.gantz@seattle.gov or 206-386-4671.
