VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

WIN! Youth Program

Looking for opportunities for your Lacey-based youth group to provide service to the community while earning funds to carry out their mission? The Work Involvement Now! (WIN!) Program may be the solution. This grant program pays youth groups or associations up to $300 per service project. This program is based on the value that youth participation in community improvement projects benefits youth participants as well as Lacey residents.


 

This Lacey City Council-sponsored program was developed to encourage youth to participate in projects that foster community pride by enhancing Lacey area parks, trails, neighborhoods, and business districts.
