Laurel Mayor Craig A. Moe invites all local youth organizations to apply for the spring Youth Services Commission Grant!
Laurel Parks & Recreation will be accepting applications until October 31, 2023, and grants will be awarded on December 15, 2023.
The grants provide limited financial support to those qualifying youth organizations that are not-for-profit and serve Laurel-area communities with at least 10% of the participants living in the City of Laurel.
Mayor Moe and the Laurel City Council created the Commission to identify, monitor, and evaluate youth services, programs, and activities offered in the City of Laurel and surrounding area. The success of the program has been a source of satisfaction for the City which has given out multiple grants since the Commission was formed in 2014.
We hope all of our local youth organizations will take advantage of this great opportunity!
