In the modern period of Russia's development, it is of particular importance to study methods and mechanisms for increasing the social responsibility of young people as a part of society, which can positively influence the resolution of social and economic crises. One of these mechanisms is the implementation of social projects. Many grant competitions have been established in Russia from public and private foundations and organizations, but the activity of young people in these competitions is not high enough. To investigate the possible motives for their participation, the author of this article found out that one of the reasons for the lack of engagement was the low quality of instructing young people to submit grant applications. The aim of this article is to work out a training model for preparing grant applications and their components as a way to increase the social responsibility of young people. To achieve this goal, we used such methods as data and document analysis, compilation, classification, generalization, sociological research methods, and statistical information analysis. The theoretical basis for our research includes philosophical theories and scientific materials on topics like the socio-cultural characteristics of young people, technologies for fostering social activity and responsibility, causes of low social engagement, methods for measuring social activity, and modern educational technologies. As a result of our research, we presented the approaches of scholars to the concept of social responsibility and philosophical ideas on human social responsibility. The content of the training model for preparing grant applications includes its various components, such as normative, methodological, personnel, substantive, and evaluative. It also includes principles, directions for pedagogical work, teaching methods, and approaches to evaluating results. The theoretical significance of this research lies in the scientifically based modeling of the educational process and the analysis of current training programs for preparing grant applicants. This research contributes to the development of a theoretical understanding of how to effectively prepare young people for grant applications and develop their social responsibility. Practically, this research can be applied by teachers and experts in grant competitions to develop the content of their training programs. It can also be used by organizations that work with young people to support grant activities and promote social responsibility.
