Applications are open for the Seed2030 Micro Grants 2024. In partnership with One Young World, Unloc is distributing 10 Micro Grants of £1,000 for young people in Northern Ireland to test or develop their own business or community project that advances on one of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Seed2030 recipients will gather together in Belfast in April 2024 for a 2-day immersive Leadership Development Bootcamp, helping them to progress their own leadership skills and the progress of their project, campaign or venture.
Post the bootcamp, grantees will be connected with a mentor from the One Young World ambassador community; these mentors will support the grantee for 6 months as they get their project off the ground. The young people will also receive continued and regular support from Unloc staff throughout the duration of the project.
