The Pay it Forward youth challenge

Pay it forward is more than just a slogan in Norwich, Ontario.  In fact it is a challenge issued by the Norwich Optimist Club to students under 19 years of age to encourage them to develop and propose a community service project. 

The Norwich Optimist Club has set aside $1,500 to fund Pay it Forward grants that will be performed in the spring/summer of 2010 in the following areas:

• Youth in our community
• Seniors in our community
• Transition of NDHS students into their new schools

 
A grant application and rules may be found at http://www.norwichoptimistpif.blogspot.com/.  According to Laura Barker, Chair, a successful grant application will follow the guidelines that can be found at http://www.payitforwardfoundation.org/.
