SYCAMORE — Nonprofit and community groups that serve DeKalb County youth are invited to apply for a YEP Grant of up to $2500 to support programs that benefit young people, with applications due February 1st and available through the DeKalb County Community Foundation website. Eligible projects must involve youth, support leadership and empowerment, and show a strong connection to the community.
