**The Starbucks Youth Action funding programme, which will support projects in Dublin
and Belfast, is seeking applications for 2012.**

The programme aims to inspire and empower young people from Dublin and Belfast and
a number of UK cities to make a difference in their communities through seed funding
and volunteer work from Starbucks staff. The programme also offers training to young
people on managing a budget, working with volunteers and project management.

The programme offers funding of up to €2000 to groups that work with people aged
16-24 who have a good idea for a project that will have an impact on young people
and the local community.

around the world to inspire and support youth action in their local markets.

Starbucks’ original goal was to engage 50,000 young people to innovate and create
action in their communities by 2015 and this target was achieved some years ago.

Groups can find application details on the [Irish Youth Foundation’s website](http://www.iyf.ie).

Completed applications should be sent to St******************@*yf.ie. The closing
