Youth for Justice, the national law-related education consortium funded by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention of the United States Department of Justice, will offer mini-grants to 100 groups of students in classrooms in schools, clubs, after-school programmes, and juvenile justice settings across the United States to teach others about the fundamental ideas of American democracy. The first 100 classes to register will receive a mini-grant of USD$100 which may be used to buy materials to conduct their teach-in, provide law-related education resources for their class or school library, host a teach-in conference with another school, or donate to a school club or charity.

Participating classes will select a lesson from the National Teach-In website and teach one of these lessons to at least one class of peers and/or younger students between April 17 and May 7 2007. They must then report their activity to Youth for Justice and write to their representative in Congress about their work .
