Youth group gets grant
GILROY – The Little Rascals, a youth group associated with the East Eighth Street Neighborhood Association, received an $850 grant late last week, according to a county neighborhood networking specialist.
The Little Rascals plan to spend the money on food, entertainment and legal fireworks for a Fourth of July celebration on East Eighth Street this year, said Daniel Chavez of United Neighborhoods of Santa Clara County.
The source of the grant is True Teens Taking Over, a wing of Community Foundation Silicon Valley, one of the area’s best-known philanthropic trusts.
The Little Rascals had applied for a $1,000 Youth and Philanthropy grant. A team of teens and young adults from TTTO interviewed members of the youth group on May 1 at the Downtown College Preparatory Charter High School in San Jose.
