The Green Bay Packers recently awarded 10 grants from its Junior Volunteer Stars program.

The Junior Volunteer Stars is a program designed to promote community investment and volunteerism in children (ages 13 and younger) via small-level grants. These small-level grants must be used to finance a community improvement/volunteer project created and executed by the child or children.

The grant recipients and their affiliations are as follows:
* Girl Scout Troop 633, Green Bay

* Girl Scout Troop 561, Pulaski, Wis.
