Young
Roots Programme aims to involve 13-25 year-olds in finding
out about their heritage, developing skills, building confidence
and promoting community involvement. Young Roots projects
stem directly from young peoples' interests and ideas, harnessing
their creativity and energy and helping them work with others
in their local community.

Roots grant, your project must relate to the varied heritage
of the UK and:

engaging activities;
* develop partnerships between youth organisations and heritage
organisations; and
* create opportunities to celebrate young people’s achievements
in the project and share their learning with the wider community.

* opportunities
for young people to volunteer in heritage; or
* new opportunities for young people to gain skills in identifying,
recording, interpreting or caring for heritage.
