Youth Community Investment Grants
The Youth Community Investment Grants are grant-funded initiatives (collectively “Grant Initiative(s)”) aimed at serving youth ages 6-24 at risk of disengaging from school or work. The efforts funded through this are expected to be culturally responsive, sexual and gender-identity affirming and address various barriers to education and workforce readiness. The request for grants reflects four grant initiatives under the Youth Community Investment Grants portfolio. The grant initiatives are the following:
