Today, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), in partnership with Ohio Campus Compact, announced a $325 grant for a campus project at Ohio Northern University as part of a new mini-grant program announced at the Propel Ohio 2019 Collegiate Leadership Summit at Bowling Green State University in November.
Students who attended the Propel Conference were invited to apply for grants of up to $500 to support their community outreach projects. The award will be used toward a project to promote the use of reusable shopping bags.
“Over the past year, we’ve seen young people making their voices heard, getting involved, rallying, marching,” said Brown.
