The V-Free Mini-Grant program was designed to help students develop projects and promote activities aimed at fostering positive environments in their schools and communities that are free of violence, vandalism and victimization. Any student or youth group, with the help of a teacher or advisor, can apply for a mini-grant. Funds range from $1,500 to $3,000 for projects taking place from September 15, 2006 through June 15, 2007.
