The Kern Community Foundation is now accepting applications for funds under the Grants Advisory Board for Youth Program. Deadline to apply is Friday, Feb. 3 at 3 p.m.

GABY is a youth-to-youth program where a panel of Kern County teenagers make actual grant-making decisions in the community. Funded through a three-year grant from the Great Valley Center, the program offers teens a meaningful experience in philanthropy, decision-making, promotes civic participation, and spreads resources to local youth groups and youth-serving organizations."
