Good Decision Service-Learning Grants and Projects

MADD and State Farm work together to provide opportunities for youth to make a significant contribution in their school and community by providing funding for the Good Decision Service-Learning grants and projects.

The Good Decision Grants funded by State Farm® offer schools or community-based organizations working with children and youth ages 5-25 in the community the opportunity to apply for funds to conduct a service-learning project on one of two topics:

• underage alcohol use prevention and
• vehicle safety.

Grants of $1,000 are awarded annually. Read about the service-learning projects that are being implemented by the grant recipients.

SERVICE-LEARNING: More than a Service Project

Service-learning is a teaching method that combines meaningful service with curriculum or program based learning. Schools and organizations use service-learning as a tool to help youth build stronger academic skills, foster civic responsibility and develop leadership skills.  It is important the applicant fully understands the service-learning teaching method.
