Milwaukee teens can apply for $5,000 DreamBig grants through Lead2Change

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Lead2Change is marking 15 years in Milwaukee by reviving DreamBig!, a youth-led grant program that will award three $5,000 grants to projects aimed at improving the city.

CEO and co-founder Dionne Grayson and student Lyfe Marie Polnitz joined us Wednesday, April 15 to share more information. The program invites young people to answer the question, "What would you do with $5,000 to make Milwaukee better?" Lead2Change students will interview applicants and select two winners, while the community will choose the third.

Applications are open now through July 6 on Lead2Change’s website.

The winners will be announced July 30 at the Grace Center in Milwaukee.
