Youth Engagement Programming Workshops 2026
YEP! grants are by Howard County and intended to provide nonprofit community organizations with resources to establish programming and engagement opportunities for young people within the county. The 2026 YEP! grant gave the Common Thread Foundation the opportunity to develop and deliver STEM programs during the times when young people need the engagement most.
The Common Thread Foundation has partnered with community centers, elementary schools, and civic organizations throughout the county.
