Quarterly submission review of ventures that provide training to young people to incubate ideas, assess community needs, create & execute a plan and evaluate outcomes; Build ongoing leadership capacity in young people; Communicate young peoples' success stories through various media

We believe in the power of young people to change the world for the better. Starbucks has a culture of innovation and entrepreneurialism. With the Starbucks Shared Planet Youth Action Grants, we use this spirit of innovation to inspire young people to take action to create positive solutions to real local needs they see in their neighborhoods. We believe that by supporting young people, we make real change in local communities and inspire additional individuals to take part in community service. Not problems to be solved, rather these young people use their passion to solve problems.

what success looks like

* Participation comes from all communities – building bridges of understanding between and among different youth communities (for example: race, socio-economic status, cultural backgrounds
* Programs and projects developed by young people will benefit their local communities and will inspire additional individuals to take part in the community.
* Young people have the ability to share their stories and successes with the broader community

Please complete an online profile for your organization. We review these profiles periodically and will get in touch with you if we'd like to request a grant proposal from you.

We only review organizations through our online profile process and do not accept unsolicited proposals. The Starbucks Foundation reviews the submissions on a quarterly basis; there are no deadlines for the submission of organization's profiles.
we make grants to organizations that:
- Provide training to young people to develop necessary skills and knowledge to incubate ideas, identify and assess community needs, create a plan of action, execute a plan and evaluate outcomes against goals

- Build ongoing leadership capacity and long term engagement of young people
- Communicate young peoples' success stories through various media (print, video, web based)*
