Earlier in 2011 Starbucks launched Starbucks Youth Action, a youth investment programme which empowers local 16-24 year olds to make positive changes in their communities in partnership with UK Youth and the Irish Youth Foundation. 52 youth-led projects have been supported including youth mentoring schemes to arts projects for disabled young people. Over £100k has been invested across ten cities.

The application process for 2012 is now open and the deadline is 5th March 2012.
