In a call to action, "Tu Voz, My Venture" awarded 50 winning teams with start-up grants of up to $1,000 to launch their ventures to help young Latinos stay in school and prepare for college and beyond. Five finalist teams were selected to receive a $5,000 scholarship. This initiative was launched by Youth Venture in partnership with MTV Tr3s, with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Here are short paragraphs describing the first two Tu Voz My Venture teams to launch. You can find summaries of all 50 Tu Voz teams at www.genv.net/tuvoz
